Exegesis
The verse opens with the articular noun phrase ta probata ta ema {τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἐμὰ | tà pró-ba-ta tà emá} ‘My own sheep,’ where the repeated article and possessive adjective sharpen the sense of ownership and identification.
In context — John 10:27
My own sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they are following Me.
