'Sheep' in the Bible

When he saw the crowds, he was deeply moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

Instead, go to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel.

"Pay attention, now! I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as cunning as serpents and as innocent as doves.

But he asked them, "Is there a man among you who, if he had one sheep and it fell into a ditch on the Sabbath, wouldn't take hold of it and pull it out?

How much more is a human being worth than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on Sabbath days."

But he replied, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel."

"What do you think? If a man has 100 sheep and one of them strays, he leaves the 99 in the hills and goes to look for the one that has strayed, doesn't he?

All the nations will be assembled in front of him, and he will cull them out, one from another, like a shepherd separates sheep from goats.

He will put the sheep on his right but the goats on his left.

Then Jesus told them, "All of you will turn against me this very night, because it is written, "I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'
