Jesus said to his disciples:
“What is your opinion?
If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray,
will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills
and go in search of the stray?
And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray.
In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.”

Ang Talinghaga ng Tupang Nawawala.
Mateo 18:12-14
Ano sa palagay ninyo? Kung ang isang tao ay may isangdaang tupa at ang isa sa mga ito ay naligaw, hindi ba niya iiwanan ang siyamnapu't siyam at aakyat sa mga bundok at hahanapin ang naligaw? Kapag natagpuan niya ito, sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo: Higit niyang ikagagalak ang patungkol sa natagpuang tupang naligaw kaysa sa siyamnapu't siyam na hindi naligaw. Gayundin naman, hindi kalooban ng inyong Ama na nasa langit na mapahamak ang isa sa maliliit na ito.
