How think you? Whenever any human becomes a hundred sheep and one of them wanders, forsakes he not the ninety-nine, and goes to the mountains, and seeks that which wanders?

THE GOOD SHEPHERD PLACES HIS SOUL
I AM the good shepherd; the good shepherd places his soul for the sheep: ¹² and a hireling, not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming; and forsakes the sheep, and flees: and the wolf seizes them, and scatters the sheep. ¹³ The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and not concerned for the sheep. ¹⁴ I AM the good shepherd and know my sheep; and mine know me. ¹⁵ Exactly as the Father knows me, even thus I know the Father: and I place my soul for the sheep. ¹⁶
