'Sheep' in the Bible

In the Temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, as well as moneychangers sitting at their tables.

After making a whip out of cords, he drove all of them out of the Temple, including the sheep and the cattle. He scattered the coins of the moneychangers and knocked over their tables.

The one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

It's to him the gatekeeper opens the gate, and it's his voice the sheep hear. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

When he has driven out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.

So again Jesus said, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, I'm the gate for the sheep.

All who came before me are thieves and bandits, but the sheep didn't listen to them.

"I'm the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

The hired worker, who isn't the shepherd and doesn't own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, deserts the sheep, and runs away. So the wolf snatches them and scatters them,

because he's a hired worker, and the sheep don't matter to him.

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

I have other sheep that don't belong to this fold. I must lead these also, and they'll listen to my voice. So there will be one flock and one shepherd.

but you don't believe, because you don't belong to my sheep.

My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me.

Jesus told him, "Take care of my sheep." He asked him a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was deeply hurt that he had asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" So he told him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you!"

Jesus told him, "Feed my sheep. "Truly, I tell you emphatically, when you were young, you would fasten your belt and go wherever you liked. But when you get old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten your belt and take you where you don't want to go."
