Mt 18:10-14

The Parable of the Lost Sheep.^*
10^f “See that you do not despise one of these little ones,^* for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.

12 What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray?
13And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray.
14In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.
