← Matthew 18:11 [words of Jesus]	Matthew 18:12 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Matthew 18:13 [words of Jesus] →
For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.	How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?	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.
