¹ By this time a lot of men and women of doubtful reputation were hanging around Jesus, listening intently. ² The Pharisees and religion scholars were not pleased, not at all pleased. They growled, "He takes in sinners and eats meals with them, treating them like old friends." ³ Their grumbling triggered this story. ⁴ "Suppose one of you had a hundred sheep and lost one. Wouldn't you leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the lost one until you found it? ⁵ When found, you can be sure you would put it across your shoulders, rejoicing, ⁶ and when you got home call in your friends and neighbors, saying, 'Celebrate with me! I've found my lost sheep!' ⁷ Count on it--there's more joy in heaven over one sinner's rescued life than over ninety-nine good people in no need of rescue.
