Just one.

Luke 15:4 "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?

This parable is about the nation of Israel, they have turned away from God and the Shepherd, Jesus came to turn them back to God.

Matthew 15:24 But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
