11. [The Son of Man came to save lost people.]
12. “If a man has 100 sheep, but 1 of the sheep gets lost, he will leave the other 99 sheep on the hill. He will go to look for the lost sheep.
13. And if he finds it, he is happier about that 1 sheep than about the 99 that were never lost. I tell you the truth.
14. In the same way, your Father in heaven does not want any of these little children to be lost.
15. “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him what he did wrong. Do this in private. If he listens to you, then you have helped him to be your brother again.
16. But if he refuses to listen, then go to him again and take one or two other people with you. ‘Every case may be proved by two or three witnesses.’
