And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” So he told them a parable: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds…
