(Translation from NRSV with a few modifications for a more literal meaning)
Matthew
| 7: 15 | "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep (probaton)'s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. |
| 9: 36 | When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep (probaton) without a shepherd. |
| 10: 6 | but go rather to the lost sheep (probaton) of the house of Israel. |
| 10: 16 | "See, I am sending you out like sheep (probaton) into the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. |
| 12: 11 | He said to them, "Suppose one of you has only one sheep (probaton) and it falls into a pit on the sabbath; will you not lay hold of it and lift it out? |
| 12: 12 | How much more valuable is a human being than a sheep (probaton)! So it is lawful to do good on the sabbath." |
| 15: 24 | He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep (probaton) of the house of Israel." |
| 18: 12 | What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep (probaton), and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? |
| 25: 32 | All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep (probaton) from the goats, |
| 25: 33 | and he will put the sheep (probaton) at his right hand and the goats at the left. |
| 26: 31 | Then Jesus said to them, "You will all become deserters because of me this night; for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep (probaton) of the flock will be scattered.' |

| 6: 34 | As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep (probaton) without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. |
| 14: 27 | And Jesus said to them, "You will all become deserters; for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep (probaton) will be scattered.' |
Luke
| 15: 4 | "Which one of you, having a hundred sheep (probaton) and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? |
| 15: 6 | And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep (probaton) that was lost.' |
John
| 2: 14 | In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep (probaton), and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. |
| 2: 15 | Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep (probaton) and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. |
| 10: 1 | "Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheep (probaton) pen by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. |
| 10: 2 | The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep (probaton). |
| 10: 3 | The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep (probaton) hear his voice. He calls his own sheep (probaton) by name and leads them out. |
| 10: 4 | When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep (probaton) follow him because they know his voice. |
| 10: 7 | So again Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep (probaton). |
| 10: 8 | All who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep (probaton) did not listen to them. |
| 10: 11 | "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep (probaton). |
| 10: 12 | The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep (probaton), sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep (probaton) and runs away - and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. |
| 10: 13 | The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep (probaton). |
| 10: 15 | just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep (probaton). |
| 10: 16 | I have other sheep (probaton) that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. |
| 10: 26 | but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep (probaton). |
| 10: 27 | My sheep (probaton) hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. |
| 21: 16 | A second time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Tend my sheep (probaton)." |
| 21: 17 | He said to him the third time, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep (probaton). |
