Yesaya 48:19

48:19 Your descendants would have been as numerous as sand, ¹ 

and your children ²  like its granules.

Their name would not have been cut off

and eliminated from my presence. ³ 

Yohanes 10:27-29

10:27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 10:28 I give ⁴  them eternal life, and they will never perish; ⁵  no one will snatch ⁶  them from my hand. 10:29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, ⁷  and no one can snatch ⁸  them from my Father’s hand.

Yohanes 10:1

Jesus as the Good Shepherd

10:1 “I tell you the solemn truth, ⁹  the one who does not enter the sheepfold ¹⁰  by the door, ¹¹  but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

1 Petrus 1:4-5

1:4 that is, ¹²  into ¹³  an inheritance imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. It is reserved in heaven for you, 1:5 who by God’s power are protected through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

[10:1]  ¹⁰ sn There was more than one type of sheepfold in use in Palestine in Jesus’ day. The one here seems to be a courtyard in front of a house (the Greek word used for the sheepfold here, αὐλή [aulh] frequently refers to a courtyard), surrounded by a stone wall (often topped with briars for protection).

[10:1]  ¹¹ tn Or “entrance.”

[1:4]  ¹² tn The phrase “that is” is supplied in the translation to indicate that the imperishable inheritance is in apposition to the living hope of v. 3.
