Inquisitor, I think its pretty hard to offer proof for any interpretation of this. The reason being that Jesus simply assumed they knew who He was talking about so didn't qualify it. But I think Brad is exactly right. After you read the scripture enough sometimes it becomes pretty apparent what their categories of thought are. "This flock" in this passage obviously refers to the Jews. The contrasting category in their minds is the Gentiles. In Christ, Beja |

I've heard other strange interpretations, including people from the past before Jesus' time and far in His future. So as I said, there's no value in speculating as to whom exactly Jesus is referring. When there's not any Bible commentary to help interpret such an unusual statement, it's best to leave it alone. God bless you all, Inquisitor |

Dear Inquisitor, Remember, there are far more wrong answers to any given question than there are correct answers. Despite Ephesians 4, lots of "other strange interpretations" will be rendered. In this context, keep in mind the full explanation of Scripture. We call that the analogy of faith -- a crucial principle used in hermeneutics (see post #156918). Therefore, consider John 11:52; Psalm 72:17-19; 89:9; Isaiah 49:6; Romans 15:9-13. Furthermore, this is the consensual perspective of many Christian scholars. At least, in a cursory check, I find the following who deem that the "other flock" are the Gentiles: Augustine, John Chrysostom, John Lightfoot, Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Gill, John Wesley, Robert Jamieson, and John MacArthur. In Him, Doc |
