The Good Shepherd

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

Yahweh is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.

He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young.

For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

“Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
