John 10:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The reason why he that is a mere hired servant, and hath no property in the sheep, fleeth, is, because he is a hireling, and doth what he doth merely for his wages; and when a danger ariseth, which his wages will not balance, he will never encounter it; he hath no property in the sheep, nor any love to them, nor care for them.

John 10:13

13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
