'Sheep' in the Bible

And [when he] saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were weary and dejected, like sheep that did not have a shepherd.

but go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

"Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

But he said to them, "What man will there be among you who will have one sheep and if this one fell into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift [it] out?

Then to what degree [is] a man worth more than a sheep? So then, it is permitted to do good on the Sabbath."

But he answered [and] said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

What do you think? If {a certain man has} a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go [and] look for the one that wandered away?

And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from one another like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

And he will place the sheep on his right and the goats on the left.

Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of me during this night, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'
