Exegesis

The contingency of loss is introduced by the aorist passive subjunctive planēthē {πλανηθῇ | planēthē̂} followed by hen ex autōn {ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν | hén ex autō̂n}, contrasting the single missing sheep with the flock.

In contextMatthew 18:12

What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go to look for the one that is straying?
