The imagery of sheep is prevalent throughout Scripture, symbolizing believers who are under the care of the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. This metaphor is rooted in the pastoral culture of ancient Israel, where shepherds played a crucial role in the community. The Old Testament frequently uses this imagery, such as in <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23</a>, where the Lord is depicted as a shepherd.listen to My voice; Listening to the voice of Jesus implies a relationship characterized by recognition and obedience. In the context of the Gospel of John, this listening is not merely auditory but involves a deep, spiritual understanding and acceptance of His teachings. This phrase connects to the broader theme of Jesus as the Word of God (<a href="/john/1.htm">John 1:1</a>) and the importance of hearing and responding to His message. The ability to discern His voice is a mark of true discipleship and is contrasted with those who do not recognize Him (<a href="/john/10-5.htm">John 10:5</a>).I know them, The knowledge Jesus speaks of here is intimate and personal, reflecting a deep relationship between the shepherd and His sheep. This echoes the covenant relationship God has with His people, as seen in passages like <a href="/jeremiah/1-5.htm">Jeremiah 1:5</a>, where God knows His people even before they are formed. In the New Testament, this knowledge is reciprocal, as believers are also called to know Christ (<a href="/philippians/3-10.htm">Philippians 3:10</a>). The Greek word for "know" (γινώσκω) implies an ongoing, dynamic relationship rather than mere intellectual awareness.and they follow Me. Following Jesus involves a commitment to His teachings and a lifestyle that reflects His example. This phrase emphasizes the active response required from believers, who are called to walk in His footsteps (<a href="/1_peter/2-21.htm">1 Peter 2:21</a>). The concept of following is central to discipleship, as seen in Jesus' call to His first disciples (<a href="/matthew/4-19.htm">Matthew 4:19</a>). It also implies trust and reliance on Jesus as the shepherd who leads His flock to safety and provision, resonating with the promise of eternal life and security found in Him (<a href="/john/10-28.htm">John 10:28</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The speaker of this verse, Jesus is the Good Shepherd who knows His sheep intimately and calls them to follow Him. 2. <a href="/topical/s/sheep.htm">Sheep</a> Symbolic of believers who recognize and respond to the voice of Jesus, their Shepherd. 3. <a href="/topical/p/pharisees_and_jewish_leaders.htm">Pharisees and Jewish Leaders</a> The broader context of <a href="/bsb/john/10.htm">John 10</a> includes Jesus addressing the Pharisees, contrasting their leadership with His own. 4. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a> The setting of this discourse, where Jesus often taught and performed miracles. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_feast_of_dedication.htm">The Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah)</a> The time during which Jesus delivered this teaching, providing a backdrop of Jewish tradition and expectation.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/l/listening_to_jesus'_voice.htm">Listening to Jesus' Voice</a> Believers are called to discern and listen to the voice of Jesus amidst the noise of the world.

One member of each pair refers to the act or state of the sheep; and the other to the act or gift of the Shepherd. The pairs proceed in a climax from the first response of the conscience which recognises the divine voice to the eternal home which is in the Father's presence.(1)"My sheep hear My voice," . . "and I know them;"(2)"And they follow Me" . . "and I give unto them eternal life;"(3)"And they shall never perish" . . . "neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand."By reading successively the clauses placed on the left side of the page, we trace the progress of the human act and state; by reading, in the same way, the clauses on the right side of the page, we trace the progress of the divine gift; by reading each pair in the order of the text, we see how at each stage the gift is proportioned to the faculty which can receive it.The earlier clauses are familiar to us from the preceding discourse, but some expressions will need a word of explanation.Eternal life.--Comp. <a href="/john/10-10.htm" title="The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.">John 10:10</a>, where the word "eternal" is added in some readings. Here the verb is in the present, "I give (am now giving) them." (Comp. <a href="/john/3-15.htm" title="That whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.">John 3:15</a>; <a href="/john/5-24.htm" title="Truly, truly, I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death to life.">John 5:24</a>; <a href="/john/6-47.htm" title="Truly, truly, I say to you, He that believes on me has everlasting life.">John 6:47</a> et seq.). We cannot be too careful to observe that our Lord's thoughts of "eternal life" is never of the future only. It is a development, rather than a simply future existence. We shall live eternally, because we now live spiritually in communion with the Spirit who is Eternal. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/john/10.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 27-30. - (2) Christ's claim to equality of power and essence, and similarity of gracious operation with the Father. Verses 27, 28. - My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any one pluck them out of my hand. Commentators have differed as to the arrangement of these two verses - whether the six assertions should be regarded as two triplets, in the first of which the sheep of Christ are made prominent, and in the latter of which the Shepherd; thus - (l) The sheep - "My sheep hear my voice" (their receptivity). . . . <a href="/commentaries/john/10-27.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>My ἐμὰ (ema) Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Nominative Neuter 1st Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_1699.htm">Strong's 1699: </a> My, mine.
