Jeremiah 31: 10-12
Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
Jesus is referred to as the shepherd of the flock all through the Gospels.
The Gospel of Matthew, Ch. 9 vs 36
But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and WERE SCATTERED ABROAD, AS SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD.
The Gospel of Mark Ch. 6 vs. 34
And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
The Gospel of John Ch. 10 vs. 1-18
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear h;is voice; and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: FOR THEY KNOW HIS VOICE.
5. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of strangers.
6. This parable spake Jesus unto them: BUT THEY UNDERSTOOD NOT WHAT THINGS THEY WERE WHICH HE SPAKE UNTO THEM.
7 Then Jesus said unto them AGAIN, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, I AM THE DOOR OF THE SHEEP.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9. I am the door; BY ME IF ANY MAN ENTER IN, HE SHALL BE SAVED, AND SHALL O IN AND OUT AND FIND PASTURE..
11. I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD: THE GOOD SHEPHERD GIVETH HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP.
12. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14. I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD, AND KNOW MY SHEEP, AND AM KNOWN OF MINE.
15. AS THE FATHER KNOWETH ME, EVEN SO KNOW I THE FATHER: AND I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR THE SHEEP.
16. AND OTHER SHEEP I HAVE, WHICH ARE NOT OF THIS FOLD: TTHEM ALSO I MUST BRING, AND THEY SHALL HEAR MY VOICE; AND THERE SHALL BE ONE FOLD, AND ONE SHEPHERD.
17. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
