<strong>He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lend those that are with young.</strong>
I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: ... I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. -- We have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant. -- The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. -- Ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. -- I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.
