10: ουτως λεγω υμιν χαρα γινεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του θεου επι ενι αμαρτωλω μετανοουντι— edit Textus Receptus
10: Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.- edit KJV text
10: So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.— edit Douay text



There is joy in the presence, &c. Jesus in this parable expresses the same sentiment which he did in the preceding. A woman would have more immediate, present joy at finding a lost piece, than she would in the possession of those which had not been lost. So, says Christ, there is joy among the angels at the recovery of a single sinner.

Acts 11:18 Pmon 1:15, Pmon 1:16
