¿Qué les parece? Si un hombre tiene cien ovejas y una de ellas se extravía, ¿no dejará las noventa y nueve en los montes y saldrá a buscar la extraviada?
Que vous en semble? Si un homme a cent brebis, et que l'une d'elles s'égare, ne laisse-t-il pas les quatre-vingt-dix-neuf autres sur les montagnes, pour aller chercher celle qui s'est égarée?
Che vi par egli? Se un uomo ha cento pecore, ed una di esse si smarrisce, non lascerà egli le novantanove, e non andrà egli su per i monti cercando la smarrita?
