Johannes 10:14

Listen to Johannes 10:14
14 Ik ben de goede Herder; en Ik ken de Mijnen, en worde van de Mijnen gekend.

Johannes 10:14 Meaning and Commentary

John 10:14

I am the good shepherd (See Gill on John 10:11).

And know my [sheep];
so as to call them all by their names: Christ has an universal, special, distinct, and exact knowledge of all his sheep, as they are the choice of his Father, as his Father's gift to him; and as his own purchase; he bears an affectionate love to them, and takes special care of them; indulges them with intimate communion with himself; and owns and acknowledges them as his, both here and hereafter:

and I am known of mine;
not in a general way, as devils and external professors may know him, but with a special, spiritual, and saving knowledge: Christ's own approve of him, as their shepherd and their Saviour, and desire no other; they love him above all, in the sincerity of their souls, and with a love as strong as death; they trust in him as their shepherd, believing they shall not want; and appropriate him to themselves, as their own; and care for him, his cause and interest, his Gospel, ordinances, and ministers; and are not ashamed to own him as theirs, in the most public manner.

Johannes 10:14 In-Context

12 Maar de huurling, en die geen herder is, wien de schapen niet eigen zijn, ziet den wolf komen, en verlaat de schapen, en vliedt; en de wolf grijpt ze, en verstrooit de schapen.
13 En de huurling vliedt, overmits hij een huurling is, en heeft geen zorg voor de schapen.
14 Ik ben de goede Herder; en Ik ken de Mijnen, en worde van de Mijnen gekend.
15 Gelijkerwijs de Vader Mij kent, alzo ken Ik ook den Vader; en Ik stel Mijn leven voor de schapen.
16 Ik heb nog andere schapen, die van dezen stal niet zijn; deze moet Ik ook toebrengen; en zij zullen Mijn stem horen; en het zal worden een kudde, en een Herder.
