“And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.”
“If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.”
“And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.”
“And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray.”
“And if he comes across it, truly I say to you, he has more joy over it than over the ninety-nine which have not gone out of the way.”
“And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.”
See that ye despise not one of these little ones: for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.
How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray?
And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray.
Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
