Luke 15:7-11 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

7. Jesus said, “In the same way there is more happiness in heaven because of one sinner who turns to God than over ninety-nine good people who don't need to.”

8. Jesus told the people another story:What will a woman do if she has ten silver coins and loses one of them? Won't she light a lamp, sweep the floor, and look carefully until she finds it?

9. Then she will call in her friends and neighbours and say, “Let's celebrate! I've found the coin I lost.”

10. Jesus said, “In the same way God's angels are happy when even one person turns to him.”

11. Jesus also told them another story:Once a man had two sons.
