John 10:16 says...

[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.]

Reply:

This "other sheep" mentioned in this verse are the Jews. Jesus is a Jew and he wanted to bring the house of Israel in his Church. But the Jews don't believe in Jesus. But once he will hear his voice then there will be one fold and one shepherd.

Thank You for that excellent additional information, Sir Way Nada.

One thing that I also notice, Sir, is that Apostle Paul was also very adamant in evangelizing and converting the Jews directly and indirectly. This is very interesting to note:

When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law.

Reply: Who are these Jews St. Paul refering to? He meant here that he was living with Jews who do not follow the Jewish law. This Jews I think are the essenes because essenes do not follow the mosaic law.

[When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law.]

Reply: These verses are understandable as the Jews who follow the mosaic law.
