....a hireling! And Jesus tells us what the hireling does.
But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
(
John 10:12)
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
(
John 10:13)
Seen it happen many times.
