28 But the sheep escaped from that water and went forth into a wilderness, where there was no water and no grass; and they began to open their eyes and to see; and I saw the Lord of the sheep pasturing them and giving them water and grass, and that sheep going and leading them. (ENO) 29 And that sheep ascended to the summit of that lofty rock, and the Lord of the sheep sent it to them. (ENO) 30 And after that I saw the Lord of the sheep who stood before them, and His appearance was great and terrible and majestic, and all those sheep saw Him and were afraid before His face. (ENO) 31 And they all feared and trembled because of Him, and they cried to that sheep with them [which was amongst them]: ‘We are not able to stand before our Lord or to behold Him.’ (ENO) 32 And that sheep which led them again ascended to the summit of that rock, but the sheep began to be blinded and to wander from the way which he had showed them, but that sheep wot not thereof. (ENO) 33 And the Lord of the sheep was wrathful exceedingly against them, and that sheep discovered it, and went down from the summit of the rock, and came to the sheep, and found the greatest part of them blinded and fallen away. (ENO) 34 And when they saw it they feared and trembled at its presence, and desired to return to their folds. (ENO) 35 And that sheep took other sheep with it, and came to those sheep which had fallen away, and began to slay them; and the sheep feared its presence, and thus that sheep brought back those sheep that had fallen away, and they returned to their folds. (ENO) 36 And I saw in this vision till that sheep became a man and built a house for the Lord of the sheep, and placed all the sheep in that house. (ENO) 37 And I saw till this sheep which had met that sheep which led them fell asleep: and I saw till all the great sheep perished and little ones arose in their place, and they came to a pasture, and approached a stream of water. (ENO) 38 Then that sheep, their leader which had become a man, withdrew from them and fell asleep, and all the sheep sought it and cried over it with a great crying. (ENO) 39 And I saw till they left off crying for that sheep and crossed that stream of water, and there arose the two sheep as leaders in the place of those which had led them and fallen asleep (lit. ‘had fallen asleep and led them’).
