1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. preached many years ago in Africa by Missionary James H. Dearmore Linked below.) (Ed. Note: I prepared this subject for one service, but it was too long when finished so I divided it into 2 sermons, preached #1 in Let us turn to Matthew for our first reading today. In chapter 18 of Matthew, let's read together two verses and then we want to go on and read a few verses in Luke chapter 15. But first in Matthew chapter 18:12-13: "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."
Now let's turn to Luke 15 and read the same parable in a little more detail. Luke 15, beginning with verse 1. I have added two verses before the parable's beginning to our main passage here in Luke because of the fact that we want to understand the context of the telling of this parable of the lost sheep. So let's read there beginning with verse 1 and 2 and then we go directly into the parable of the lost sheep again as recorded by Luke. "Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
