{I am the good-shepherd} (eg(9320)eimi ho poim(886e) ho kalos).
Effective repetition. {And mine own know me} (kai gin(9373)kousin me
ta ema). Jesus as the Good Shepherd knows his sheep by name as
he had already said (verse  3 ) and now repeats. Yes, and they
know his voice (verse  4 ), they have experimental knowledge
(gin(9373)k(935c)) of Jesus as their own Shepherd. Here (in this
mutually reciprocal knowledge) lies the secret of their love and
loyalty.
