3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.5 [ver. 12, 13]A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."
14 See ver. 11I am the good shepherd. ver. 27;Nah. 1:7;2 Tim. 2:19I know my own and ver. 4my own know me,
27 ver. 14, 16My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.28 [1 John 2:25;5:11] I give them eternal life, and ch. 17:12;18:9they will never perish, and ch. 6:37no one will snatch them out of my hand.
