24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly. ”

The Lord’s My Shepherd 50 CCLI No. 11100572
The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want; He makes me down to lie In pastures green; He leadeth me The quiet waters by.
My soul He doth restore again, And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, E’en for His own name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale, Yet will I fear no ill; For Thou art with me, and Thy rod And staff my comfort still.
My table Thou hast furnished me In presence of my foes; My head Thou dost with oil anoint, And my cup overflows.
Goodness and mercy all my life Shall surely follow me; And in God’s house forevermore, My dwelling place shall be.
Hebrews 13 Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep… 20
…through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you complete in every good work… through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
