John 10:5
5
But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
Read John 10:5 Using Other Translations
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."
They won’t follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don’t know his voice.”
What does John 10:5 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
John 10:5
And a stranger will they not follow
One that knows not Christ, is not sent by him, and who does not
preach him:
but will flee from him;
shun him and his ministry, as not only disagreeable, but
dangerous:
for they know not the voice of strangers:
they do not approve of their doctrine, nor take any delight in
it, or receive any profit from it. The Persic version, as before,
reads, "neither will the lambs ever go after strange sheep, and
if they see [them], they will flee [from them]".
