Matthew 12:9-15 “9 And, going away from thence, he came into their synagogue.10 And behold, there was a man having his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.11 But he said to them, What man shall there be of you who has one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it and raise [it] up?12 How much better then is a man than a sheep! So that it is lawful to do well on the sabbath.13 Then he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out, and it was restored sound as the other.14 But the Pharisees, having gone out, took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.15 But Jesus knowing [it], withdrew thence, and great crowds followed him; and he healed them all:”
Isaiah 53:6 “6 All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid upon him the iniquity of us all.”
Luke 15:3-7 “3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying,4 What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost, until he find it?5 and having found it, he lays it upon his own shoulders, rejoicing;6 and being come to the house, calls together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.7 I say unto you, that thus there shall be joy in heaven for one repenting sinner, [more] than for ninety and nine righteous who have no need of repentance.”
