It is one of the illustrations of Jesus. It shows up in the Gospels of Matthew 18:12–14 and Luke 15:3–7. It is a shepherd who leaves his run of ninety-nine sheep with a specific end goal to locate the one which is lost. It is the main individual from a set of three about reclamation that Jesus tells after the Pharisees and religious pioneers blame him for inviting and eating with "sinners."[1] The two anecdotes that take after (in Luke's Gospel) are those of the Lost Coin and the Prodigal Son. The anecdote of the Good shepherd, a pericope found in John 10:1-21, gets from it.
