John 10:16 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

And other sheep I have,— "To convince you that I know my sheep, and am known of them, I tell you that I have other sheep besides the Jews; I have sheep among the Gentiles: for I know those in every country, whose honesty of disposition will induce them, through my grace, to accept of the gospel in the love of it. (See John 6:37; John 6:39.) These I will bring into my church, and they shall know me, and shall distinguish my voice from that of a stranger; they will cheerfully submit to my laws, and there shall be one flock, (ποιμνη,) and one Shepherd; there shall be but one visible church, when the Gentiles are converted, consisting of them and the Jews: as there is but one Shepherd to feed and govern them, there shall be no more any middle wall of partition."

John 10:16

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
