10
"Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones; for, I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of my Father in heaven.
12
What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray?
13
And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray.
14
So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.
