3 耶稣就对他们讲了这个比喻, 说:

4 "你们中间谁有一百只羊, 失去一只, 不把九十九只留下在旷野, 去寻找那失落的, 直到找着呢?

5 既找着了, 就欢欢喜喜地放在肩上,

6 回到家里, 请朋友邻舍来, 对他们说: ‘请大家和我一同欢乐, 因为我失去的羊已经找到了! ’

7 我告诉你们, 因为一个罪人悔改, 天上也要这样为他欢乐, 比为九十九个不用悔改的义人欢乐更大。

3 And he spake unto them this parable, saying, 4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost 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 his neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance.
