See that ye despise not one of these little ones for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

11

[For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.]

12

How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray?

13

And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray.

14

Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
