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

26 Pero vosotros no creéis porque no sois de mis ovejas.

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

28 y yo les doy vida eterna y jamás perecerán, y nadie las arrebatará de mi mano.

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