Yes, He is the Shepherd. And He also said this:
“”Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the Church of God, which He hath purchased with His Own Blood." “” Acts 20:28
What translation are you using? Mine reads much differently.
Acts 20:28 ESV
Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.
My apologies, that was Saint Paul stating that, not Christ. But a warning still, nonetheless. This is from the Douay Rheims translation, directly translated from the Latin Vulgate Of St. Jerome, circa 382 AD
Also, if you continue reading, we're warned of wolves entering the flock
Acts 20:28-31 NKJV
Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. [29] For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. [30] Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. [31] Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
Yes, exactly. And Luther was that very wolf who created a revolution with its own self-serving theology, one that had NEVER been taught before: no change needed, just believe. 😢

Ah, I only use translations from the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts.
Just so you understand, that is what St. Jerome did. Anything you use is spun off of his work.
Which is...?

Luther didn't seek worship.
The papacy does however.
No, worshipping the papacy is done by literally NO ONE. Calumny is a grievous sin against the 8th Commandment. Stop it.
