J. N. Darby Translation

16
And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: those also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.

W. Kelly Translation

+
16
And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must lead, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall bea one flockb , one shepherd.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Some MSS. support the plural form "they shall be", the rest have the singular which might bear the same meaning.
b
It is not, as in the English Bible and others, "one fold," but "one flock." God owns no such thing now as a fold. Here the Lord declares that the sheep He had which were not of this fold should, with those He was leading out of the fold, be "one flock" with one Shepherd. No such gathering into one had been hitherto. It was reserved for Christ when rejected by the Jews; who died to gather together in one the scattered children of God.
