Bible Question: John 10;16 WHO ARE THE SHEEP FROM ANOTHER FOLD??? |
Bible Answer: Quoted for context: John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. 17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.” 19 Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings. 20 And many of them said, “He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?” 21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?” This verse 16 is very difficult to interpret since it comes to us "out of the blue" and Jesus doesn't explain it. As far as I know, the Bible doesn't give much commentary on this phrase "sheep not of this fold." We do know that quite often Jesus referred to sheep when He was really referring to people. With this passage we can't even speculate very much. I would not place too much value or need for discussion since it doesn't seem to mean very much to God or His Son. God bless you, Inquisitor |
