Exegesis

The causal clause hoti oidasin ten phonen autou {ὅτι οἴδασιν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ | hóti oídasin tḕn phōnḗn autoû} explains the following: oidasin, a perfect-form verb with present force, signals settled familiarity, so the sheep’s following is grounded in recognized identity rather than coercion.

In contextJohn 10:4

Whenever He brings out all His own, He goes before them, and the sheep follow Him because they know His voice .
