Aye, verily,  if we take our cue from John 10:

John 10:14 	Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλὸς  
καὶ γινώσκω τὰ ἐμὰ καὶ γινώσκουσί  
με τὰ ἐμά,  ... 16 καὶ ἄλλα πρόβατα ἔχω  
ἃ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς αὐλῆς ταύτης·  
κἀκεῖνα δεῖ με ἀγαγεῖν καὶ τῆς  
φωνῆς μου ἀκούσουσιν, καὶ  
γενήσονται μία ποίμνη, εἷς ποιμήν.  
[EGW EIMI hO POIMHN hO KALOS KAI GINWSKW TA EMA KAI GINWSKOUSI ME TA  
EMA, ... 16 KAI ALLA PROBATA ECW hA OUK ESTIN EK THS AULHS TAUTHS·  
KA)KEINA DEI ME AGAGEIN KAI THS FWNHS MOU AKOUSOUSIN, KAI GENHSONTAI  
MIA POIMNH, hEIS POIMHN.]
