Gill's Notes on the Bible
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling,.... And has no propriety in the sheep; had he, he would abide by them, and defend them; but because he has not, he will not expose himself to any danger, but leaves them:
and careth not for the sheep; what becomes of them, providing only for his own safety. Abarbinel y has a note on Isaiah 40:11 which may serve to illustrate this passage:
""he shall feed his flock like a shepherd"; not as he that feeds the flock of others, for the hire they give him, but as a shepherd that feeds his own flock; who has compassion more abundantly on it, because it is his own flock; and therefore he saith, "behold his reward is with him", for he does not seek a reward from another; "and his work is before him"; for he feeds what is his own, and therefore his eyes and his heart are there.''
Which is not the case of the hireling; he does not care for them, he has not their good at heart; but the good shepherd has, such an one as Christ is.
y Mashmia Jeshua, fol. 20. 4.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Because he is a hireling - Because he regards only his wages. He feels no special interest in the flock.
