When Jesus says, “I am the good shepherd,” he is drawing on centuries of Jewish memory and scripture that depict God as a shepherd and his people as the sheep of his pasture. The imagery would have struck a deep chord with his hearers, and further confirmed Jesus’ claim that he is “The Great I Am.”
