Isaiah 53:6

6 aAll we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
band the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

Ezekiel 34:6

6they wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, cwith none to search or seek for them.

Ezekiel 34:16

16 dI will seek the lost, eand I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and fthe fat and the strong I will destroy.
Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate  I will watch over
I will feed them in justice.

Matthew 10:6

6 hbut go rather to ithe lost sheep of jthe house of Israel.

Matthew 15:24

24He answered, kI was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

Matthew 18:12-13

12 lWhat do you think? mIf a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? 13And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray.

Luke 15:4-7

4 nWhat man of you, having a hundred sheep, oif he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine pin the open country, and qgo after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 5And when he has found it, rhe lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for sI have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who trepents than over ninety-nine urighteous persons who need no repentance.
