The Parable of the Lost Coin8“Or suppose a woman has ten silver coinsGreek ten drachmas, each worth about a day’s wagesand loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?9And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’
10In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
