And they said, An Egyptian man delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and proceeded to draw for us and watered the flock.

And Moses agreed to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.

Now Moses was with the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

He also chose David His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;

from following the ewes nursing their young He brought him, to shepherd Jacob His people, and Israel His inheritance.

And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife; yea, he kept sheep for a wife.

Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.

So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these? He said to Him, Yes, Lord; You know that I am deeply fond of You. He said to him, Feed My lambs.

He said to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, are you deeply fond of Me? Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, Are you deeply fond of Me? And he said to Him, Lord, You discern all things; You know that I am deeply fond of You. Jesus said to him, Feed My sheep.

Remember those in authority over you, who have spoken the Word of God to you. Observing the outworkings of their behavior, imitate their faith.

Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not eager for dishonest gain but with a ready mind;

and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
