“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’”
如果有人拥有一百只羊,但其中一只羊迷失了,他会怎么做?难道他不会把这九十九只羊留在旷野,然后去找那失去的羊,直到找着吗?找着了,就欢欢喜喜的扛在肩膀上,回到家里,就请朋友和邻居来,对他们说:“和我一同欢喜吧,我失去的羊已经找着了!”
