Matthew

Matthew 18:10–13

¹⁰See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.^b

¹²What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? ¹³And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

Footnotes

b 18:10 BYZ and TR include ¹¹For the Son of Man came to save the lost; see Luke 19:10|LUK 19:10.
