Matthew 18:12 Context
10Take heed that yee despise not one of these little ones: for I say vnto you, that in heauen their Angels do alwaies behold the face of my father which is in heauen. 11For the sonne of man is come to saue that which was lost. 12How thinke yee? if a man haue an hundred sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leaue the ninetie and nine, and goeth into the mountaines, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13And if so be that he find it, Uerily I say vnto you, hee reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine which went not astray. 14Euen so, it is not the will of your father which is in heauen, that one of these little ones should perish.
