- And I:
- "And I will set upª° shepherdsª° over¹ them which shall feedª° them: and they shall fearª° no¹ more,¹ nor¹ be dismayed,ª° neither¹ shall they be lacking,ª° saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 23:4} + "But now¹ thy kingdomª shall not¹ continue:ª° the LORDª hath soughtª° him a manª after his own heart,ª and the LORDª hath commandedª° him [to be] captainª over¹ his people,ª because¹ thou hast not¹ keptª° [that]¹ which¹ the LORDª commandedª° thee." {1Sm 13:14} + "And [though] the Lordª giveª° you the breadª of adversity,ª and the waterª of affliction,ª yet shall not¹ thy teachersª° be removed into a cornerª° any more,¹ but thine eyesª shall¹ seeª°¹ thy teachers:ª° ... And thine earsª shall hearª° a wordª behindª¹ thee, saying,ª° This¹ [is] the way,ª walk¹ ye in it,²° when¹ ye turn to the right hand,ª° and when¹ ye turn to the left.ª°" {Isa 30:20-21} + "And I will set upª° oneª shepherdª° over¹ them, and he shall feedª° them, [even]¹ my servantª David;ª he shall feedª° them, and he¹ shall be¹ their shepherd.ª°" {Ezk 34:23} + "And Davidª my servantª [shall be] kingª over¹ them; and they all¹ shall have¹ oneª shepherd:ª° they shall also walk²°¹ in my judgments,ª and observeª° my statutes,ª and doª° them." {Ezk 37:24} + "And he shall standª° and feedª° in the strengthª of the LORD,ª in the majestyª of the nameª of the LORDª his God;ª and they shall abide:ª° for¹ now¹ shall he be greatª° unto¹ the endsª of the earth.ª ... And this¹ [man] shall be¹ the peace,ª when¹ the Assyrianª shall comeª° into our land:ª and when¹ he shall treadª° in our palaces,ª then shall we raiseª° against¹ him sevenª shepherds,ª° and eightª principalª men.ª" {Mic 5:4-5} + "Verily,ª verily,ª I sayª° unto you,ª He that enterethª° notª byª the¹ doorª intoª the¹ sheepfold,ªª butª climbeth upª° some other way,ª the sameª isª° a thiefª andª a robber.ª ... Andª a strangerª will they²° notª follow,ª° butª will fleeª° fromª him:ª forª they knowª° notª the¹ voiceª of strangers.ª" {Jhn 10:1-5} + "Soª whenª they had dined,ª° Jesusª saithª° to Simonª Peter,ª Simon,ª [son] of Jonas,ª lovest¹ thou²° meª more¹ than² these?² He¹ saithª° unto him,ª Yea,ª Lord;ª thouª knowestª° thatª I loveª° thee.ª He saithª° unto him,ª Feedª° myª lambs.ª ... He saithª° unto himª the¹ third² time,¹ Simon,ª [son] of Jonas,ª lovestª° thou me?ª Peterª was grievedª° becauseª he saidª° unto him²¹ the¹ third² time,¹ Lovestª° thou me?ª Andª he saidª° unto him,ª Lord,ª thouª knowest²°¹ all things;ª thouª knowest²°¹ thatª I loveª° thee.ª Jesusª saithª° unto him,ª Feedª° myª sheep.ª" {Jhn 21:15-17} + "Andª heª gaveª° some,ª¹ apostles;ª andª some,¹ prophets;ª andª some,¹ evangelists;ª andª some,¹ pastorsª andª teachers;ª ... Forª the¹ perfectingª of the¹ saints,ª forª the workª of the ministry,ª forª the edifyingª of the¹ bodyª of Christ:ª" {Eph 4:11-12} + "The eldersª which¹ are amongª youª I exhort,ª° who² am also an elder,ª andª a witnessª of the¹ sufferingsª of Christ,ª and¹ also² a partakerª of the gloryª that shallª° be revealed:ª° ... Andª when the¹ chief Shepherdª shall appear,ª° ye shall receiveª° a crownª of gloryª that fadeth not away.ª" {1Pe 5:1-4}
