^36 (A)But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were ^[a]weary and scattered, ^(B)like sheep having no shepherd.

^17 (A)who may go out before them and go in before them, who may lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be ^(B)like sheep which have no shepherd.”

^34 (A)And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like ^(B)sheep not having a shepherd. So ^(C)He began to teach them many things.

¹⁴ And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He ^(A)was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

^3 (A)You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you ^(B)slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock. ^4 (C)The weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor ^(D)sought what was lost; but with ^(E)force and ^[a]cruelty you have ruled them. ^5 (F)So they were ^(G)scattered because there was no shepherd; ^(H)and they became food for all the beasts of the field when they were scattered. ⁶ My sheep ^(I)wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill; yes, My flock was scattered over the whole face of the earth, and no one was seeking or searching for them.”

Feeding the Four Thousand^(A)

^32 (B)Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”

²⁴ But He answered and said, ^(A)“I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
