The other is about the animals."},{"l":"What you are seeing","t":"The first noun in the verse is aule, a fold or enclosure. The second is poimne, a flock. The Greek says other sheep not of this aule, and they shall become one poimne, one shepherd.

The error is not in the language but in the 1611 rendering, which follows the Latin rather than the Greek."},{"l":"The rule to carry away","t":"Where the King James follows the Vulgate against the Greek, a real correction is available and the modern versions have made it."},{"l":"Choosing between them","t":"One flock is what modern versions overwhelmingly print, and outside the King James tradition the correction is universal."},{"l":"The word","t":"\u03b1\u1f50\u03bb\u03ae aule \u00b7 G833 \/ \u03c0\u03bf\u03af\u03bc\u03bd\u03b7 poimne \u00b7 G4167"}],"src":["aule at John 10:1, 16a","poimne at John 10:16b","Vulgate ovile for both; the King James follows it"]}
