Mark 6:34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
In ancient times a priest was usually the eldest member of the family who served the whole family by managing extra funds of the family for its benefit with individual needs in mind. Families consisted of grandfathers, Married Sons and their families and unmarried uncles and aunts.
This was the foundation of all society. But societies also had priests who were the people who would be given funds or items of social sacrifice for the care of families that might need assistance, such as widows and orphans. Religion was how you provided for the needs of society, your duty to your fellowman and so men chosen by society to serve as priests of society managed those contributions for the good of all. This natural and voluntary sacrifice of the people, for the people, by the people was called Corban. This Corban was also called Religion.
Two forms of religion within societies rose up in the world. Those that operated on free will contributions and those who chose to force their neighbors to contribute. One was based on love and charity and one was based on force and covetousness. They produced two different kinds of societies.
The priests of one society were chosen becomes of their compassion and desire to serve. The priests of another society are actually called bureaucrats and they merely exercise authority one over the other. This usually requires the invention of another group of priests.
Those are the ear-ticklers who are hired to make the people feel good about coveting their neighbors' goods and sending the bureaucrat priests to their neighbor's door to force them to provide for what they want such as free schools to babysit their children, free health care and old age social security so they do not have to take care of the needy of their family or their elderly parents. This of course the Corban that Christ said made the word of God to none effect.
So, there are lots of different kinds of Shepherds and priests and the kind makes all the difference.
