On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The preface to this discourse is solemn: Verily, verily, I say unto you,--Amen, amen. This vehement asseveration intimates the certainty and weight of what he said; we find amen doubled in the church's praises and prayers, Ps. xli. If we would have our amens accepted in heaven, let Christ's amens be prevailing on earth; his repeated amens.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

): I know my sheep and am known of mine. Note, There is a mutual acquaintance between Christ and true believers; they know one another very well, and knowledge notes affection. [ a. ] Christ knows his sheep. He knows with a distinguishing eye who are his sheep, and who are not; he knows the sheep under their many infirmities, and the goats under their most plausible disguises.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

He goeth before them - In all the ways of God, teaching them in every point, by example as well as by precept; and the sheep follow him - They tread in his steps: for they know his voice - Having the witness in themselves that his words are the wisdom and the power of God. Reader, art thou a shepherd of souls? Is it thus with thee and thy flock?

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

29 ); thieves that would steal Christ's sheep from him, to sacrifice them to devils, or steal their food from them, that they might perish for lack of it; wolves in sheep's clothing, Matt. vii. (4.) The great Shepherd of the sheep takes wonderful care of the flock and of all that belong to it. God is the great Shepherd, Ps. xxiii.
