Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 15:10

10 Likewise I say unto you, There is joy in the presence▪ of the angels of God, over one sinner that repenteth.

This Parable (as appeareth by the conclusion of it) is of the same import with the other, and needs no further Explication. By both these Parables, our Blessed Lord lets the Pharisees know the end he aimed at in Conversing with Publicanes and Sinners, viz. In order to their Repentance and Conversion, than which nothing could be more grateful, and well pleasing to that God who desireth not the Death of a Sinner, but rather that they should turn from their Wickedness, and live. Of the same import is also the following Parable, which taketh up all the remaining part of this Chapter.
