As the Good Shepherd, Jesus also showed that

He had other sheep not of this fold. These were

the Gentiles. He was the Shepherd not of Israel

alone, but the lost sheep of all mankind. He was

ready to lay down His life for them too.

(John 10:16-17)

This parable caused a division among the Jews.

"And many of them said, He hath a devil, and

is mad; why hear ye him?
Others said, These are not the words of him

that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of

the blind?" John 10:20-21
