Matthew Poole and continuators on John 10:16

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 .

Our Saviour meaneth the Gentiles, who belonged not to the Iewish State and Church, so were not under the same Laws and Government; for 1 Ioh. 2.2. he was not onely a Propitiation for the Sins of the Iews, but for the Sins of the whole World; he calleth those sheep, because the Lord knew who were his from Eternity; and they were sheep in the councils of God, and they were suddenly to be made his sheep by Calling, the Gospel being soon to be Preached to all Nations.

Them also, (saith he) I must bring in. It is so written in God's Book, the Promises, and Prophecies to that purpose must be fulfilled. They shall not onely hear the Voice and Sound of my Gospel, though going out of Sion, yet not terminated in Sion; but they shall imbrace, receive, and believe that joyful sound.

And there shall be but one Church; as I am one Shepherd, so there shall be but one Flock of sheep; one Body, one Spirit, one hope of our Calling, one Lord, one Faith; one Baptism, as there is one God and Father of All, as the Apostle speaketh, Ephes. 4.4, 5, 7.
