A Treatise Against the Heretic Novatian

AD 255

Which being found Christ brings back, bearing on His shoulder the tender sinful one; and He, rejoicing and exulting, having called His friends and domestics, says, "Rejoice with me; for my sheep which was lost is found. I say "says He, "unto you, that there will be such joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth.". I say unto you, that such joy shall be in the sight of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."

Cornelius a Lapide

AD 1637

Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. Î£Ï…Î³Ï‡Î¬Î¶Î·Ï„Î Î¼Î¿Î¹, Let My joy be one with yours—partake of My joy. His joy is so great that he cannot confine it to Himself, His friends must rejoice also. He further indicates that the event is such a happy one, that it ought to afford matter for rejoicing to all. He says not, "Rejoice with the sheep that is found," but, "with Me." Because truly our life is His joy. S. Gregory.
