Matthew 18:12 in Context — Matthew 18
10 Gardez-vous de mépriser un seul de ces petits; car je vous disque leurs anges dans les cieux voient continuellement la face de mon Père qui est dans les cieux.
11 Car le Fils de l’homme est venu sauver ce qui était perdu.
12 Que vous en semble? Si un homme a cent brebis, et que l’une d’elles s’égare, ne laisse-t-il pas les quatre-vingt-dix-neuf autres sur les montagnes, pour aller chercher celle qui s’est égarée?
13 Et, s’il la trouve, je vous le dis en vérité, elle lui cause plus de joie que les quatre-vingt-dix-neuf qui ne se sont pas égarées.
14 De même, ce n’est pas la volonté de votre Père qui est dans les cieux qu’il se perde un seul de ces petits.
