href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/0/0">Middle East</a> confirm that sheep have the amazing ability to distinguish between the voice of their own shepherd and that of other shepherds or strangers. As Jesus indicated, shepherds would name each sheep, even when flocks were large. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">Joh 10:3,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/1/1" data-bid="2-2" class="b"> 27</a>) So from an early age, the sheep would hear the shepherd’s voice calling out their names as he guided and trained them. In addition, shepherds would use personalized sounds to distinguish themselves from other shepherds. They would teach the sheep to respond to different calls, or voice commands, in order to protect them from dangers or lead them to good pastures and water. Sheep can thus be said to <em>know</em> their shepherd’s unique voice, not only in the sense of identifying his voice as different from other voices but also in the sense of recognizing his tender care and protection for them individually and as a flock.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p836" data-pid="836" class="se"></p> <p id="p837" data-pid="837" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/870/0"><em>“My Follower,”</em> pp. 124-125</a></p> <p id="p838" data-pid="838" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/871/0"><em>Insight,</em> Volume 2<em>,</em> pp. 924-925,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/872/0"> 1161</a></p> <div id="p839" data-pid="839"><p data-pid="839" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/873/0"><em>The Watchtower,</em></a></p><p data-pid="839" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/873/0">9/1/2004, pp. 13-14,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/874/0"> 17</a></p><p data-pid="839" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/875/0">9/1/2002, pp. 17-18</a></p><p data-pid="839" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/876/0">7/15/1994, p. 31</a></p> </div><div id="p840" data-pid="840"><p data-pid="840" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/877/0"><em>Awake!,</em></a></p><p data-pid="840" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/877/0">3/22/1988, pp. 3-4</a></p> </div><p id="p841" data-pid="841" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p251" data-pid="251" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/249/0">cf 124-125;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/249/2"> it-2 924-925,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/249/4"> 1161;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/249/6"> w04 9/1 13-14,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/249/8"> 17;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/249/10"> w02 9/1 17-18;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/249/12"> w94 7/15 31;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/249/14"> g88 3/22 3-4;</a></p> <p id="p252" data-pid="252" class="sx"></p> <p id="p304" data-pid="304" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/302/0">w84 2/15 11-12;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/302/4"> w80 7/15 18,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/302/7"> 20;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/302/9"> km 11/76 2;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/302/11"> w75 432;</a><span class="ni"> or 57-58;</span><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/302/15"> ad 1489;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/302/16"> g70 1/22 26;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/302/18"> w61 219;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/302/19"> w51 132;</a><span class="ni"> w48 134;</span><span class="ni"> w46 152</span></p> <p id="p305" data-pid="305" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="43-10-5" data-section-citation="043010005043010005"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">John 10:5</span></h3><div class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p6" data-pid="6" class="s5"><strong>will by no means follow:</strong> The use of two Greek negatives with the verb emphatically expresses rejection of an idea, vividly emphasizing the permanence of Jesus’ words.

Dedication.” It was held for eight days, beginning on the 25th day of the month of Chislev, close to the winter solstice, (see study note on <strong>wintertime</strong> in this verse and <a class="it" href="/en/wol/tc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/0">App. B15</a>) to commemorate the rededication of Jerusalem’s temple in 165 B.C.E. Syrian King Antiochus IV Epiphanes had shown his contempt for Jehovah, the God of the Jews, by desecrating His temple. For example, he built an altar on top of the great altar, where formerly the daily burnt offering had been presented. On Chislev 25, 168 B.C.E., to defile Jehovah’s temple completely, Antiochus sacrificed swine on the altar and had the broth from its flesh sprinkled all over the temple. He burned the temple gates, pulled down the priests’ chambers, and carried away the golden altar, the table of showbread, and the golden lampstand. He then rededicated Jehovah’s temple to the pagan god Zeus of Olympus. Two years later, Judas Maccabaeus recaptured the city and the temple. After the temple was cleansed, the rededication took place on Chislev 25, 165 B.C.E., exactly three years after Antiochus had made his disgusting sacrifice on the altar to Zeus. The daily burnt offerings to Jehovah were then resumed. There is no direct statement in the inspired Scriptures indicating that Jehovah gave Judas Maccabaeus victory and directed him to restore the temple. However, Jehovah had used men of foreign nations, such as Cyrus of Persia, to carry out certain purposes as regards His worship. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/20/0" data-bid="21-1" class="b">Isa 45:1</a>) It is reasonable to conclude, then, that Jehovah might use a man of his dedicated people to accomplish His will. The Scriptures show that the temple had to be standing and operating in order for the prophecies regarding the Messiah, his ministry, and his sacrifice to be fulfilled. Also, the Levitical sacrifices were to be offered until the time when the Messiah would present the greater sacrifice, his life in behalf of mankind.

The Festival of Dedication was in the month of Chislev, the ninth month, corresponding to November/December. In 32 C.E., the first day of the festival, Chislev 25, fell in the middle of December. (See <a class="it" href="/en/wol/tc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/1">App. B15</a>.) It was common knowledge among the Jews that this festival occurred during wintertime. So the mention of wintertime may have been to emphasize the state of the weather as a reason for Jesus’ choice of a sheltered place for his teaching, in “the colonnade of Solomon.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/23/0" data-bid="24-1" class="b">Joh 10:23</a>) This location offered protection from the strong E wind in the winter.—See <a class="it" href="/en/wol/tc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/2">App. B11</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p886" data-pid="886" class="se"></p> <p id="p887" data-pid="887" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/920/0"><em>Insight,</em> Volume 1<em>,</em> pp. 198,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/921/0"> 825</a></p> <div id="p888" data-pid="888"><p data-pid="888" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/922/0"><em>The Watchtower,</em></a></p><p data-pid="888" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/922/0">9/1/2011, p. 14</a></p> </div><p id="p889" data-pid="889" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p266" data-pid="266" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/264/0">it-1 198,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/264/2"> 825;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/264/4"> w11 9/1 14;</a></p> <p id="p267" data-pid="267" class="sx"></p> <p id="p319" data-pid="319" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/317/0">w80 2/1 19;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/317/2"> ad 576,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/317/3"> 827;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/317/4"> w61 763;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/317/5"> w59 154,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/317/6"> 630;</a><span class="ni"> yw 77;</span><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/317/8"> w53 615</a></p> <p id="p320" data-pid="320" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="43-10-23" data-section-citation="043010023043010023"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">John 10:23</span></h3><div class="group media"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Media</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="scalableui item hasVideo"><div class="clearfix"><a class="galleryItem" href="/en/wol/gallery/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/43/1001072131#chapter=10"><img class="studyItemMedia" src="/en/wol/gallery/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/43/1001072131/thumbnail" data-img-large-src="/en/wol/mp/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/2024/732" ><span class="caption"><p>Solomon’s Colonnade</p> </span></a></div></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/43/10/395" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-396"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Ac 3:11;

Such shepherding is a joint task of the Father and the Son. They are equally concerned about the sheep, not allowing anyone to snatch them out of their hand. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/29/0" data-bid="30-1" class="b">Joh 10:27-29</a>; compare <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/30/0" data-bid="31-1" class="b">Eze 34:23, 24</a>.) In John’s <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/11/0">Gospel</a>, the unity in fellowship, will, and purpose between the Father and the Son is often mentioned. The Greek word here rendered “one” is, not in the masculine gender (denoting “one person”), but in the neuter gender (denoting “one thing”), supporting the thought that Jesus and his Father are “one” in action and cooperation, not in person. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/31/0" data-bid="32-1" class="b">Joh 5:19;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/31/1" data-bid="32-2" class="b"> 14:9,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/31/2" data-bid="32-3" class="b"> 23</a>) That Jesus referred, not to an equality of godship, but to a oneness of purpose and action is confirmed by comparing the words recorded here with his prayer recorded in <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070678/32/0" data-bid="33-1" class="b">John chapter 17</a>.
