在我與全體以色列子民走過的哪一個地方，我何曾對哪一個以色列士師，就是我吩咐要牧養我子民以色列的士師，說過這話：你們怎麼不為我建造一座香柏木的殿宇呢？』

我在以色列眾人中間往來、無論甚麼地方、我何曾向以色列士師中哪一位我所委任來牧養我人民以色列的，說：『你們為甚麼不給我建造香柏木的殿呢？』」

凡我與以色列人偕行之地、豈曾語所命牧我民以色列支派之一者曰、曷不為我建香柏之室乎、

我與以色列族偕、簡於支派之中、得數人使牧我民、我曷嘗命建柏香木殿、為我居所乎。

凡我偕以色列人行時、以色列支派中之士師、即我所命牧我民以色列者、我何曾謂其一曰、爾何不為我造柏香木之殿乎、

Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel,“ Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’

In all places where I have moved with all the people of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying,“ Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’

從前掃羅作我們王的時候，帶領以色列出入的就是你，耶和華也曾對你說：『你要牧養我的子民以色列，你要作以色列的領袖。』」

所以，我這同做長老的、做基督苦難見證人的、也在那將要顯現的榮耀中有份的，我懇求你們中間的長老們：

『猶大之地伯利恆啊！你在猶大的首要城鄉中，絕不是最小的，因為將來有一位領袖要從你那裡出來，他要牧養我的子民以色列。』」

大家吃完早飯後，耶穌就問西門彼得：「約翰的兒子西門，你愛我勝過這些嗎？」彼得說：「是的，主啊！你知道我喜愛你。」耶穌對他說：「餵養我的小羊。」耶穌第二次又問他：「約翰的兒子西門，你愛我嗎？」彼得回答說：「是的，主啊！你知道我喜愛你。」耶穌對他說：「牧養我的羊。」耶穌第三次問他：「約翰的兒子西門，你喜愛我嗎？」彼得感到憂傷，因為耶穌第三次是對他說：「你喜愛我嗎？」彼得說：「主啊，你知道一切，你知道我喜愛你。」耶穌對他說：「餵養我的羊。

你們當為自己謹慎，也當為全體羊群謹慎。聖靈把你們放在這羊群裡做監督，為要牧養神的教會，就是他用自己的血所贖來的。

他必像牧人牧養自己的羊群，把羊羔聚集在他的膀臂下，把牠們抱在自己的懷中，又溫柔地引領哺乳的母羊。

喊叫：「各位以色列人哪，請幫忙！這個人就是那到處教導大家反對我們的民族、律法，反對這地方的！他甚至把希臘人帶進聖殿，玷汙了這聖地。」

從所照顧的哺乳母羊當中把他帶出來，為要牧養自己的子民雅各，自己的繼業以色列。於是大衛就以純全的心牧養他們，以聰慧的手引導他們。
