For the VOY episode of the same name, please see "Good Shepherd".

The Good Shepherd was a tale about care for the lost. According to the tale, when one sheep strayed into the wilderness, the shepherd would leave the safety of the flock and go after it.

In 2376, Captain Kathryn Janeway recounted this tale briefly to Seven of Nine when stating her intentions to take Tal Celes, Mortimer Harren, and William Telfer on an away mission. (VOY: "Good Shepherd")

This term and story originated from several Biblical references, including John 10:11-15 , Luke 15:4-7 , and Matthew 18:12-13 .
