16. other sheep I have . . . not of this fold: them also I must
bring--He means the perishing Gentiles, already His "sheep" in the love of
His heart and the purpose of His grace to "bring them" in due time.
they shall hear my voice--This is not the language of mere foresight that they would believe, but the expression of a
purpose to draw them to Himself by an inward and efficacious call, which would
infallibly issue in their spontaneous accession to Him.
and there shall be one fold--rather "one flock" (for the word for
"fold," as in the foregoing verses, is quite different).
