Commentary on John 10:14

Theological / Devotional

The good shepherd. See on v. 11.

Know my sheep. He knows His sheep by name (v. 3). They know not only His voice (v. 4), but they know Him. Knowledge leads to action. The good shepherd who knows the sheep of his flock, takes a personal, loving interest in each one of them; the sheep, in turn, knowing the character of their shepherd, place implicit confidence in their guardian and render loving, unquestioning obedience. See DA 479.
