   and other sheep I have which not are from this {the} fold me must bring those too and my {the} voice will hear and will become one flock one shepherd

Exegesis

The sentence begins with the coordinating `kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’`, linking this saying to the preceding shepherd discourse.

The following future clause `kai tēs phones mou akousousin {καὶ τῆς φωνῆς μου ἀκούσουσιν | kaí tês phō-nês mou a-koú-sou-sin} ‘and they will hear My voice’` expresses assured response, with `tēs phones mou {τῆς φωνῆς μου | tês phō-nês mou}` functioning as the object of hearing.

The closing clause `kai genesontai mia poimne heis poimen {καὶ γενήσονται μία ποίμνη εἷς ποιμήν | kaí ge-nē-son-tai mí-a poím-nē heîs poi-mén} ‘and they will become one flock, one shepherd’` uses a future middle verb to portray the resulting identity of the gathered sheep. The paired predicate nouns create a compact climax: one unified flock under one shepherding figure.
