Matthew 18:11-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

11. [For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]

12. "What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying?

13. If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.

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

15. "If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.

16. But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed.

17. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
