Matthew 23:10-12
Servant
Nor are you to be called 'teacher,'
for you have one Teacher, the Christ. 11 The greatest among
you will be your servant. 12 For whoever exalts himself will
be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Mark 10:42-44
Servant
Jesus called them together and
said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the
Gentiles lord it over them,
and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great
among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be
first must be slave of all.
Luke 22:24-27
Servant
24 Also a dispute arose
among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.
25 Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it
over them; and those who exercise authority over them call
themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are not to be like that.
Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest,
and the one who rules like the one who serves. 27 For who
is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves?
Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you
as one who serves.
Psalm 77:20
Shepherd
You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and
Aaron.
Psalm 78:70-72
Shepherd
He also chose David His servant, And took him from
the sheepfolds; 71 From the care of the ewes with suckling
lambs He brought him, To shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel
His inheritance. 72 So he shepherded them according to the
integrity of his heart, and guided them with his skillful
hands.
Jeremiah 3:15
Shepherd
... I will give you shepherds
after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.
Jeremiah 10:21
Shepherd
The shepherds are senseless and do not inquire of the LORD;
so they do not prosper and all their flock is scattered.
Acts 20:17, 28
Shepherd
17 From Miletus, Paul sent
to Ephesus for the elders of the church. 28 Keep watch over
yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has
made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which
he bought with his own blood.
1 Peter 5:1-4
Shepherd
1 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow
elder, a witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will
share in the glory to be revealed: 2 Be shepherds of
God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not
because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants
you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; 3
not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being
examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd
appears, you will receive the crown
of glory that will never fade away.
