The words, however, are not found at all in the Epistles (the remaining books) of the New Testament. This is perhaps the best proof that the Bible intends for individuals to develop beyond the status of a “disciple” (and surely beyond the status of a “sheep”) and to rely upon their own honest "brains", “hearts”, and courage ever more for the purpose of building up their own competent “Priestly” authority.
