Contextual Overview

1 Then resorted vnto hym all the publicanes and sinners, for to heare hym. 2 And the pharisees & scribes murmured, saying: he receaueth sinners, and eateth with them. 3 But he put foorth this parable vnto them, saying: 4 What man of you, hauyng an hundred sheepe, if he loose one of them, doth not leaue ninetie and nine in the wildernesse, and go after that which is lost, vntyll he fynde it? 5 And when he hath founde it, he layeth it on his shoulders with ioy: 6 And assoone as he commeth home, he calleth together his louers and neyghbours, saying vnto them: Reioyce with me, for I haue founde my sheepe which was lost. 7 I say vnto you, that lykewyse ioy shalbe in heauen ouer one sinner that repenteth, more then ouer ninetie and nine iust persons, which neede no repentaunce. 8 Either what woman, hauyng tenne peeces of siluer, yf she loose one, doth not lyght a candle, and swepe the house, and seke diligently tyll she fynde it? 9 And when she hath founde it, she calleth her louers & her neyghbours together, saying: Reioyce with me, for I haue founde the peece which I had lost. 10 Lykewyse I say vnto you, shall there be ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, ouer one sinner that repenteth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends,....

:- a parable somewhat like to this, the Jews x have on those words in Proverbs 2:4 "If thou seekest her as silver", c.

"it is like to a man that has lost a "shekel", (a piece of money,) or beryl rings, within his house he lights up many lamps and many candles, until he lights on them; and lo, these things much more: for if a man for the things of the temporary life of this world, lights many lamps and candles, until he lights upon them and finds them; the words of the law, since they are the life of this world, and the life of the world to come, shouldest thou not search after them as for hidden treasure?''

x Shirhashirim Rabba, fol. 1. 4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Ten pieces of silver - In the original, ten “drachmas.” The drachma was about the value of fifteen cents, and consequently the whole sum was about a dollar and a half, or six shillings. The sum was small, but it was all she had. The loss of one piece, therefore, was severely felt.

There is joy in the presence ... - 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.
