Commentary on John 10:5

Theological / Devotional

A stranger. Particularly the thief and robber mentioned in v. 1, though, of course, anyone, even the shepherd of another flock.

Will they not follow. The negative is strongly expressed in the Greek. With the familiar tones of the shepherd’s voice the sheep associate protection, guidance, and pasture. The strange voice arouses, alarm.
