Exegesis
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.

heisepsilon–iota–sigma
“one, single”
In context — John 10:16
And I have other sheep that are not from this fold ; those too I must bring, and they will hear My voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.
