Good Shepherd
The Good Shepherd ((ギリシア語: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 also discussed in the other gospels, the Epistle to the Hebrews, the First Epistle of Peter and the Book of Revelation in references to Jesus not letting himself lose any of his sheep.
==Early Christian art==
The image of the Good Shepherd is the most common of the symbolic representations of Christ found in Early Christian art in the Catacombs of Rome, before Christian imagery could be made explicit. The form of the image showing a young man carrying a lamb round his neck was directly borrowed from the much older pagan kriophoros (see below) and in the case of portable statuettes like the most famous one now in the Pio Cristiano Museum, Vatican City (right), it is impossible to say whether the image was originally created with the intention of having a Christian significance. The image continued to be used in the centuries after Christianity was legalized in 313. Initially it was probably not understood as a portrait of Jesus, but a symbol like others used in Early Christian art,〔Eduard Syndicus; ''Early Christian Art''; pp. 21-3, Burns & Oates, London, 1962〕 and in some cases may also have represented the Shepherd of Hermas, a popular Christian literary work of the 2nd century.〔''The Two Faces of Jesus'' by Robin M. Jensen, ''Bible Review'', 17.8, October 2002〕〔''Understanding Early Christian Art'' by Robin M. Jensen, Routledge, 2000〕 However, by about the 5th century, the figure more often took on the appearance of the conventional depiction of Christ, as it had developed by this time, and was given a halo and rich robes,〔Syndicus, 130-131〕 as on the apse mosaic in the church of Santi Cosma e Damiano in Rome, or at Ravenna (right). Images of the Good Shepherd often include a sheep on his shoulders, as in the Lukan version of the Parable of the Lost Sheep.
