The Good Shepherd (Greek: ποιμήν ο καλός poimḗn o kalós) is a pericope found in John 10:1-21 in which Jesus is depicted as the Good Shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep. Similar imagery is used in Psalm 23. The Good Shepherd is revisited throughout the Four Gospels in references to Jesus not letting himself lose any of his sheep.
