“Be on your guard against false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves.

When he saw the crowds, he felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd.

“Instead, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

“Look, I’m sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as serpents and as innocent as doves.

He replied to them, “Who among you, if he had a sheep that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, wouldn’t take hold of it and lift it out?

He replied, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

“What do you think? If someone has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, won’t he leave the ninety-nine on the hillside and go and search for the stray?

“All the nations[fn] will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Then Jesus said to them, “Tonight all of you will fall away because of me, for it is written:

I will strike the shepherd,

and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.

When he went ashore, he saw a large crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then he began to teach them many things.

Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away,[fn] because it is written:

I will strike the shepherd,

and the sheep will be scattered.

“What man among you, who has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open field[fn] and go after the lost one until he finds it?

“and coming home, he calls his friends and neighbors together, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my lost sheep! ’

In the temple he found people selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and he also found the money changers sitting there.

“Truly I tell you, anyone who doesn’t enter the sheep pen by the gate but climbs in some other way is a thief and a robber.

Jesus said again, “Truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

“just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

“But you don’t believe because you are not of my sheep.[fn]

A second time he asked him, “Simon, son of John, do you love me? ”

“Yes, Lord,” he said to him, “you know that I love you.”

“Shepherd my sheep,” he told him.

Now the Scripture passage he was reading was this:

He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,

and as a lamb is silent before its shearer,

so he does not open his mouth.

As it is written:

Because of you

we are being put to death all day long;

we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.

Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus ​— ​the great Shepherd of the sheep ​— ​through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

For you were like sheep going astray, but you have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer[fn] of your souls.
