Johannes 10:27

Listen to Johannes 10:27
27 Mijn schapen horen Mijn stem, en Ik ken dezelve, en zij volgen Mij.

Johannes 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.

Johannes 10:27 In-Context

25 Jezus antwoordde hun: Ik heb het u gezegd, en gij gelooft het niet. De werken, die Ik doe in den Naam Mijns Vaders, die getuigen van Mij.
26 Maar gijlieden gelooft niet; want gij zijt niet van Mijn schapen, gelijk Ik u gezegd heb.
27 Mijn schapen horen Mijn stem, en Ik ken dezelve, en zij volgen Mij.
28 En Ik geef hun het eeuwige leven; en zij zullen niet verloren gaan in der eeuwigheid, en niemand zal dezelve uit Mijn hand rukken.
29 Mijn Vader, die ze Mij gegeven heeft, is meerder dan allen; en niemand kan ze rukken uit de hand Mijns Vaders.
