Similar imagery is used in Psalm 23 & Ezekiel 34:11-16. The Good Shepherd is also discussed in the other gospels, the Epistle to the Hebrews, the First Epistle of Peter & the Book of Revelation. A shepherd or sheepherder is a person who tends, herds, feeds, or guards flocks of sheep. Shepherd derives from Old English sceaphierde. Shepherding is one of the world's oldest occupations, & existing in agricultural communities around the world & an important part of pastoralist animal husbandry. Because of the ubiquity of the profession, many religions & cultures have symbolic or metaphorical references to the shepherd profession - e.g. Jesus called himself the Good Shepherd, or ancient Greek mythologies highlighting shepherds such as Endymion or Daphnis. This symbolism & shepherds as characters have been at the center of pastoral literature & art.
