STRONGS G1006:

βόσκω; as in Greek writings from Homer down, to feed: Mark 5:14; Luke 15:15; ἀρνία, πρόβατα, John 21:15, 17 (in a figurative discourse portraying the duty of a Christian teacher to promote in every way the spiritual welfare of the members of the church); ὁ βόσκων a herdsman: Matthew 8:33; Luke 8:34. In the passive and middle [present participle βοσκόμενος, cf. Winers Grammar, § 38, 2 note] of flocks or herds, to feed, graze: Matthew 8:30; Mark 5:11; Luke 8:32. (In Sept. for רָעָה.)

[Synonyms: βόσκειν, ποιμαίνειν: π. is the wider, β. the narrower term; the former includes oversight, the latter denotes nourishment; π. may be rendered tend, β. specifically feed. See Trench § 25; Meyer on John as above; Schmidt ch. 200.]
