## even so ##
"in the same way" or "as the shepherd and his friends and neighbors would rejoice"

nine righteous persons who do not need to repent** - "ninety nine people who think that they are righteous and do not need to repent." Jesus was not saying that there really are any righteous people. Rather he was using a figure of speech called irony, because he was talking to people who assumed that they were righteous, but they were not. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-irony]])
