Resumen:
There is no doubt about the importance one should give to the words of the Good Shepherd in
John 10. Nevertheless, very few studies have dealt with the dynamics of the narrative, its
inner structure and especialy, with its relationship within the contex of the fourth gospel. We
know even less about the links of this text with others in the Old Testament, what is said in
the the Jewish Tradition and other writings betwween the two Testaments. Neediess to say
that a close study of these sources will give an exegetical and hermeneutical focus and a new
perspective to these words of Jesus. This could also be achieved without overlookin different
studies and interpretations os these verses given by worlwide known exegetes.
