rwp - John:10:14

rwp@John:10:14 @{I am the good-shepherd} (\eg eimi ho poimn ho kalos\). Effective repetition. {And mine own know me} (\kai ginskousin me ta ema\). Jesus as the Good Shepherd knows his sheep by name as he had already said (verse 3|) and now repeats. Yes, and they know his voice (verse 4|), they have experimental knowledge (\ginsk\) of Jesus as their own Shepherd. Here (in this mutually reciprocal knowledge) lies the secret of their love and loyalty.
