Read in context

Luke 15:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 Or what woman who has ten silver coins and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her house, and search carefully until she finds it?

9 And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11 Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12 The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
