Juan 10:27

27 Mis ovejas oyen mi voz, y yo las conozco, y me siguen

Juan 10:27 Meaning and Commentary

John 10:27

My sheep hear my voice
The voice of Christ in his Gospel, both externally and internally; (See Gill on John 10:4), (See Gill on John 10:16); and since therefore these Jews did not, it was a plain case they were not of his sheep:

and I know them; (See Gill on John 10:14); but Christ knew not these as the elect of God, or as the Father's gift to him, and therefore they could not be his sheep:

and they follow me;
both in the exercise of grace, and in the discharge of duty, and whithersoever he the good shepherd leads them; (See Gill on John 10:3), (See Gill on John 10:4). But now, whereas these Jews did not follow Christ, but turned their backs on him, and rejected him, it was notorious that they were none of his sheep; but both happy and safe are those persons, that are the sheep of Christ, as appears from what is next said of them.

Juan 10:27 In-Context

25 Les respondió Jesús: Os lo he dicho, y no creéis; las obras que yo hago en nombre de mi Padre, éstas dan testimonio de mí

26 mas vosotros no creéis, porque no sois de mis ovejas, como os he dicho

27 Mis ovejas oyen mi voz, y yo las conozco, y me siguen

28 y yo les doy vida eterna y no perecerán para siempre, y nadie las arrebatará de mi mano

29 Mi Padre que me las dio, mayor que todos es y nadie las puede arrebatar de la mano de mi Padre
