Matt 24 v42-51
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come,
he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye
also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45 Who then is a faithful
and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in
due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47
Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But and if that evil servant
shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 and shall begin to smite his fellowservants,
and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he
looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 and shall cut him asunder, and
appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matt 18 v12-14
12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not
leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13
And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety
and nine which went not astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that
one of these little ones should perish.
Luke 15 v3-7
3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he
lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is
lost, until he find it? 5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And
when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice
with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in
heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need
no repentance.
