Specifically verse 16, I have other sheep that are not of this pen. I don't get it. Who are the other sheep?
I have consulted my commentary (The Macarthur Bible Commentary) and it gives a standard 'gentiles' response, but as I read the above I couldn't help but wonder if the implication of the text is wider than that. Now I know who John was writing for and can see how that may have coloured his Gospel, but I wonder all the same...
Aliens?
