<p>10:23 <i>It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple along Solomon's porch</i>- As noted earlier, the material which follows is seamlessly connected with the theme of shepherd and sheep earlier in this chapter. So I suggest that this is read as a general positioning statement for the material both before and after this point in the chapter. I have earlier pointed out the similarities between the idea of a &quot;fold&quot; and of the 'courts' of the temple, for women, Gentiles and Jews. The Lord was standing at the division between the courts of the Gentiles and Jews, and His language of creating only one fold, entrance to which was only through Him, must be read in this context.</p><p>The Bible does use (at times) the language of the day, contemporary with the time when it was first inspired. Jn. 10:23 speaks of &ldquo;Solomon&rsquo;s colonnade&rdquo;, but as the NIV Study Bible correctly points out, this was &ldquo;commonly but erroneously thought to date back to Solomon&rsquo;s time&rdquo;. But the error isn&rsquo;t corrected. The language of the day is used, just as it is concerning demons.</p>
