Reference Type: Allusion

Connection Method(s): Promise-Fulfillment + Typology

Significance: Jesus fulfills divine shepherd role promised in Ezekiel. Davidic shepherd typology. Voluntary sacrificial death unprecedented—shepherd who dies FOR sheep (not just risking life). Resurrection power implicit (10:17-18).
