NETBible

What do you think? If someone¹ owns a hundred² sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go look for the one that went astray?³

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “a certain man.” The Greek word ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used here in a somewhat generic sense.

²sn This individual with a hundred sheep is a shepherd of modest means, as flocks often had up to two hundred head of sheep.

³sn Look for the one that went astray. The parable pictures God’s pursuit of the sinner. On the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, see John 10:1-18.
