I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
I am the good shepherd. See the note at John 10:11.
And know my [sheep], and am known of mine. Since the word "sheep" is a supplement, it is perhaps better to render the words, 'and know mine, and am known of mine' х ginooskoo (G1097) ta (G3588) ema (G1691) kai (G2532) ginooskomai (G1097) hupo (G5259) toon (G3588) emoon (G1700)]. Lachmann and Tregelles read, 'and mine know me' х ginooskousin (G1097) me (G3165) ta (G3588) ema (G1691)], but, as we judge, on insufficient evidence: Tischendorf abides by the received text.
