100 Bible Verses about One Hundred Sheep

Matthew 18:12-14 ESV / 9 helpful votes

What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray?

So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
