I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole Law” (Gal5:2). But what does Paul claim is true, using the identical Greek words? Peter tells us to imitate Christ. Incidentally, the reason Jesus says He will be "sole shepherd" or "sole pastor" is because Jesus is alluding to the prophecy of the David-heir-as-Messiah in a new covenant in Ezekiel 37:24. KJV.
