1 Peter 2:25
For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
Note Isaiah 53:6
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
Note “Overseer” is from the Greek ἐπίσκοπον, which can mean overseer, curator, guardian, or superintendent.
For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
