Gospel Luke 15:1-10

Now all the tax collectors and sinners
were coming near to listen to [Jesus.] And
the Pharisees and the scribes were
grumbling and saying, “This fellow
welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
So he told them this parable: “Which one
of you, having a hundred sheep and losing
one of them, does not leave the ninetynine
in the wilderness and go after the
one that is lost until he finds it? When he
has found it, he lays it on his shoulders
and rejoices. And when he comes home,
he calls together his friends and
neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with
me, for I have found my sheep that was
lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more
joy in heaven over one sinner who repents
than over ninety-nine righteous persons
who need no repentance. “Or what
woman having ten silver coins, if she loses
one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep
the house, and search carefully until she
finds it? When she has found it, she calls
together her friends and neighbors,
saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found
the coin that I had lost.’ Just so, I tell you,
there is joy in the presence of the angels
of God over one sinner who repents.
