"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."
— Matthew 18:13, NET Bible
“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.”
“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. ”
“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 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.”

The Parable of the Lost Sheep“See that you do not disdain one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.
What do you think? If someone owns a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go look for the one that went 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.
In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that one of these little ones be lost.
Restoring Christian Relationships“If your brother sins, go and show him his fault when the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have regained your brother.
But if he does not listen, take one or two others with you, so that at the testimony of two or three witnesses every matter may be established.
