¹⁶I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

John 10:16World English Bible, Protestant Edition

The scene

Jesus speaks of bringing other sheep who will hear his voice and form one flock.

To understand

The same speech calls him the good shepherd and says he lays down his life for the sheep. This verse identifies the shepherd and the shared voice, but does not name the other sheep as a particular group.

A question

What unites the sheep in this passage, and what remains unnamed?
