SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:5
Mas al extrao no seguirn, antes huirn de l, porque no conocen la voz de los extraos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 10:5
Verse 5. And a stranger will they not follow] That is, a man who, pretending to be a shepherd of the flock of God, is a stranger to that salvation which he professes to preach. His mode of preaching soon proves, to those whose hearts are acquainted with the truths of God, that he is a stranger to them; and therefore, knowing him to have got into the fold in an improper way, they consider him a thief, a robber, and a murderer; and who can blame them if they wholly desert his ministry? There are preachers of this kind among all classes.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. And a stranger will they not follow , etc.] One that knows not Christ, is not sent by him, and who does not preach him: but will flee from him ; shun him and his ministry, as not only disagreeable, but dangerous: for they know not the voice of strangers : they do not approve of their doctrine, nor take any delight in it, or receive any profit from it. The Persic version, as before, reads, neither will the lambs ever go after strange sheep, and if they see [them], they will flee [from them].
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - Here is a parable or similitude, taken from the customs of the East, in the management of sheep. Men, as creatures depending on their Creator are called the sheep of his pasture. The church of God in the world is as a sheep-fold, exposed to deceivers and persecutors. The grea Shepherd of the sheep knows all that are his, guards them by his providence, guides them by his Spirit and word, and goes before them as the Eastern shepherds went before their sheep, to set them in the way of his steps. Ministers must serve the sheep in their spiritual concerns. The Spirit of Christ will set before them an open door. The sheep of Christ will observe their Shepherd, and be cautious and shy of strangers, who would draw them from faith in him to fancies about him.
