Luke 15:6

"And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost." I recorded verse 32 last month from chapter 15. It to uses the word "rejoice" in regard to the lost son being back and being alive. The word "rejoice" in 15:6 is over a lost sheep that was found. Part of studying the Bible is paying attention to words that are repeated.
