But the sheep benefit most when shepherds encourage them to listen to Jesus ’ voice and to the sayings of Jehovah rather than to men’s thoughts or to the dictates of local custom. ​ — Psalm 12: 6; Proverbs 3: 5, 6.
كَانَ ٱلرُّعَاةُ ،‏ مِثْلُ ٱلرُّسُلِ بُطرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا وَبُولُسَ ،‏ أَعْضَاءً فِي صَفٍّ دَعَاهُ يَسُوعُ « ٱلْعَبْدَ ٱلْأَمِينَ ٱلْفَطِينَ » .‏
