Luke 15:3 BBE

¹  Now all the tax-farmers and sinners came near to give ear to him.

²  And the Pharisees and scribes were angry, saying, This man gives approval to sinners, and takes food with them.

³  And he made a story for them, saying,

⁴  What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if one of them gets loose and goes away, will not let the ninety-nine be in the waste land by themselves, and go after the wandering one, till he sees where it is?

⁵  And when he has got it again, he takes it in his arms with joy.
