My sheep hear my voice,.... The voice of Christ in his Gospel, both externally and internally; See Gill on "Joh 10:4",See Gill on "Joh 10:16"; and since therefore these Jews did not, it was a plain case they were not of his sheep:and I know them; See Gill on "Joh 10:14"; but Christ knew not these as the elect of God, or as the Father's gift to him, and therefore they could not be his sheep:and they follow me; both in the exercise of grace, and in the discharge of duty, and whithersoever he the good shepherd leads them; See Gill on "Joh 10:3",See Gill on "Joh 10:4".
