And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
And when he putteth forth - or 'turneth out.' [The aorist - ekbalee (G1544) - is here rightly rendered 'putteth forth,' as in 'Luke 1:51-53; the idea being that of 'a succession of definite acts constituting a habit of so acting.' So probably eegapeesan (G25) is to be explained in John 3:19, 'men love the darkness,' etc.]
His own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
