Matthew 18:10-14
10“See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that atheir angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 111[“aFor the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
12“What do you think? aIf any man has one hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying? 13“And if it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. 14“In this way, it is not the will 1of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.
