¹⁶ “May the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh,^(A) appoint a man over the community ¹⁷ who will go out before them and come back in before them,^(B) and who will bring them out and bring them in, so that the Lord’s community won’t be like sheep without a shepherd.”^(C)

³⁶ When He saw the crowds, He felt compassion for them, because they were weary and worn out,^(A) like sheep without a shepherd.^(B)

³⁴ So as He stepped ashore, He saw a huge crowd and had compassion^(A) on them, because they were like sheep^(B) without a shepherd. Then He began to teach them many things.
