Overview

As recounted in Luke 15, a woman with ten silver coins loses one. She then lights a lamp and sweeps her house until she finds it, rejoicing when she does.

Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, "Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.' Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
