Think maybe this Good Shepherd has been up in the hills a bit too long?

From the Gospel of Thomas, which the Powers-That-Were managed to leave out of the Canon:

Thomas 107. Jesus said, "The (Father's) kingdom is like a shepherd who had a hundred sheep. One of them, the largest, went astray. He left the ninety-nine and looked for the one until he found it. After he had toiled, he said to the sheep, 'I love you more than the ninety-nine.'"
