This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh_10:4. And when he has brought out all his own sheep (those belonging to his flock), and so forth. He leaves none behind ( πάντα , see the critical note). ἐκβάλῃ pictures forth the manner of the ἐξάγειν . He lays hold on the sheep which he has called to him, and brings them out to the door.
The idea, which is symbolically set forth in Joh_10:3-4, is that of the living, loving fellowship which subsists between the leaders of the people of God, whom Christ has appointed, and Christ Himself, for the satisfaction of the spiritual needs of the Church, both in general and in particular.
