This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I am the good-shepherd (egō eimi ho poimēn ho kalos). Effective repetition.
And mine own know me (kai ginōskousin me ta ema). Jesus as the Good Shepherd knows his sheep by name as he had already said (Joh 10:3) and now repeats. Yes, and they know his voice (Joh 10:4), they have experimental knowledge (ginōskō) of Jesus as their own Shepherd. Here (in this mutually reciprocal knowledge) lies the secret of their love and loyalty.
