هكذَا يَكُونُ فَرَحٌ في السَّمَاءِ بِخَاطِئٍ وَاحِدٍ يَتُوب، أَكْثَرَ مِنْ تِسْعَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ بَارًّا، لا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلى تَوْبَة
إنجيل القدّيس لوقا15/من03حتى07/:”قالَ الربُّ يَسوعُ هذَا المَثَل: «أَيُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُم، لَهُ مِئَةُ خَرُوف، فَأَضَاعَ وَاحِدًا مِنْهَا، لا يَتْرُكُ التِّسْعَةَ وَالتِّسْعِينَ في البَرِّيَّةِ وَيَذْهَبُ وَرَاءَ الضَّائِعِ حَتَّى يَجِدَهُ؟ فَإِذَا وَجَدَهُ حَمَلَهُ عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ فَرِحًا. وَيَعُودُ إِلى البَيْتِ فَيَدْعُو الأَصْدِقَاءَ وَالجِيرَان، وَيَقُولُ لَهُم: إِفْرَحُوا مَعِي، لأَنِّي وَجَدْتُ خَرُوفِيَ الضَّائِع! أَقُولُ لَكُم: هكذَا يَكُونُ فَرَحٌ في السَّمَاءِ بِخَاطِئٍ وَاحِدٍ يَتُوب، أَكْثَرَ مِنْ تِسْعَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ بَارًّا، لا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلى تَوْبَة!

I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 15/03-07/:”Jesus told them this parable: ‘Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, “Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.”Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.”
