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 Respondióles Jesús: Os lo he dicho, y no creéis: las obras que yo hago en nombre de mi Padre, ellas 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, ni nadie las arrebatará de mi mano.

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