"16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."
Many people state that this refers to the gentiles. Does Christ ever refer to the gentiles as His Sheep? "Sheep" always refers to The House of Israel.
(For further info, see John 10:6; Matt. 15:24)
A problem will arise here, however with interpretation. For me, the matter is settled when Christ said to the people here on this continent, "And verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." He also said, "AND verily, verily, I say unto you that I have other sheep, which are not of this land, neither of the land of Jerusalem, neither in any parts of that land round about whither I have been to minister."
What do you believe? Gentiles or not?
