no, the kid was saying that this was an example of the pastoral trope because they literally bring the shepherd in and torture him for information, so someone out of the society had insight/wisdom that no one inside of it did. which jesus is also an example of, to him. but our prof said that the pastoral trope didn't come about until the 16th(? i forget which exactly) century.
