Commentary on John 10:6
John notes the audience didn't understand Jesus' parable. Spiritual truth requires spiritual capacity to comprehend. The religious leaders heard the words but missed the meaning, illustrating that natural man cannot receive spiritual things (1 Cor 2:14). Understanding requires the Spirit's illumination, not merely human intelligence.
