Bible Question:
psalm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd..... and when you read John 10:11I am the Good Shepherd .... My question is how does this two sayings relate togather? |
Bible Answer: Hi k.james, In your short question you speak of the Shepherd, and in your question about John 10:11 you speak of the Good Shepherd. Is this the interpretation that you have in using capitalization? That is the interpretation that I have penciled in my personal copy. Psalm 23:1, "The Lord is my Shepherd/, I shall not want." John 10:11, "I am the Good/ Shepherd; the Good (Shepherd) lays down His life for the sheep." Certainly the two sayings relate together because they are speaking of the same Shepherd. In relating the two passages together I would see that if tables were set up for the whole world, the Shepherd would know His own and would prepare it for them. I do not want for any good thing. How about you; do you know the (Shepherd)? John 10:14, "I am the Good Shepherd, and I/ know My own, and My own know (Me)." The parentheses are mine for comparison. From the heart, Ray |
