Verse 5, could go further, we won't, "A stranger will they not follow but will flee from him for they know not the voice of strangers." I love that. True believers don't depart from the faith. Matthew 24:24, "There will come false shepherds, false Christs, false apostles who if it were possible would deceive the very elect." You know what that verse means? You can't deceive the very elect. They would do it if it were possible...not possible. True sheep hear the shepherd's voice, they don't listen to the voice of strangers.
It's interesting that a shepherd's sheep will not, even though the false shepherd speaking physically, would imitate the voice of the shepherd, the true shepherd, they won't follow him, they become so aware of their own shepherd's voice. Just like your dog if you've had him for a long time knows your voice. And they follow only their shepherd
