Matius 5:25

5:25 Reach agreement ¹  quickly with your accuser while on the way to court, ²  or he ³  may hand you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the warden, and you will be thrown into prison.

Matius 12:11

12:11 He said to them, “Would not any one of you, if he had one sheep that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, take hold of it and lift it out?

Matius 18:12

18:12 What do you think? If someone ⁴  owns a hundred ⁵  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? ⁶ 

[5:25]  ¹ tn Grk “Make friends.”

[5:25]  ² tn The words “to court” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[5:25]  ³ tn Grk “the accuser.”

[18:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “a certain man.” The Greek word ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used here in a somewhat generic sense.

[18:12]  ⁵ sn This individual with a hundred sheep is a shepherd of modest means, as flocks often had up to two hundred head of sheep.

[18:12]  ⁶ sn 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.
