1000 B.C.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

570 B.C.

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

90 A.D.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.

Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
