Jean 10:27

27 Mes brebis entendent ma voix; je les connais, et elles me suivent.

Jean 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.

Jean 10:27 In-Context

25 Jésus leur répondit: Je vous l'ai dit, et vous ne croyez pas. Les oeuvres que je fais au nom de mon Père rendent témoignage de moi.

26 Mais vous ne croyez pas, parce que vous n'êtes pas de mes brebis.

27 Mes brebis entendent ma voix; je les connais, et elles me suivent.

28 Je leur donne la vie éternelle; et elles ne périront jamais, et personne ne les ravira de ma main.

29 Mon Père, qui me les a données, est plus grand que tous; et personne ne peut les ravir de la main de mon Père.
