Contextual Overview

¹ "In most solemn truth I tell you that the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs over some other way, is a thief and a robber. ² But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. ³ To him the porter opens the door, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out. ⁴ When he has brought out his own sheep--all of them--he walks at the head of them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. ⁵ But a stranger they will by no means follow, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers." ⁶ Jesus spoke to them in this figurative language, but they did not understand what He meant. ⁷ Again therefore Jesus said to them, "In most solemn truth I tell you that I am the Door of the sheep. ⁸ All who have come before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep would not listen to them. ⁹ I am the Door. If any one enters by me, he will find safety, and will go in and out and find pasture. ¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in abundance.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then said Jesus unto them again,.... By way of explanation of the above parable, since they did not understand it:

verily, verily, I say unto you; this is certainly truth, and what may be depended on as such, whether it will be believed or not:

I am the door of the sheep; and of none but them; not of goats, dogs, or swine; none but sheep enter at this door; and all the sheep do sooner or later: Christ is the door to them, by which they enter into a visible church state, and are let into a participation of the ordinances of it, as baptism and the Lord's supper: no man comes into a church, at the right door, or in a right way, or has a right to partake of Gospel ordinances, but he that truly believes in Christ, and makes a profession of faith in him: Christ is the door of the under shepherds of the sheep; none are fit to be pastors of churches, but who first enter into a Gospel church at this door, and are qualified, and called, and sent forth by Christ: he is the door of the sheep, by which they are let into the presence of his Father, and have communion with him, and partake of all the blessings of grace; it is through him that sanctifying, justifying, pardoning, and adopting grace, are conveyed unto them, and they brought into the enjoyment of them; it is through him they have all their peace, joy, and comfort, and deliverance from, and victory over all their enemies; through him they have heirship, and a right unto eternal life, and that itself; for he is the door into heaven itself, through which they shall have an abundant entrance into it: and he is the only door into each of these; there is no coming to God the Father but by, and through him; nor to a participation of the blessings of the covenant, nor rightly into a Gospel church state, and to the ordinances of it, nor into heaven at last, but in at this door: and this is a door of faith and hope, and an open one, for all sensible sinners, for all the sheep of Christ, to enter in at; though it is a strait gate, the number being few that enter in at it; and those that do, though they are certainly, yet but scarcely saved; for it is through many tribulations and afflictions that they enter.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I am the door - I am the way by which ministers and people enter the true church. It is by his merits, his intercession, his aid, and his appointment that they enter.

Of the sheep - Of the church.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 10:7. I am the door of the sheep. — It is through me only that a man can have a lawful entrance into the ministry; and it is through me alone that mankind can be saved. Instead of, I am the door, the Sahidic version reads, I am the shepherd; but this reading is found in no other version, nor in any MS. It is evidently a mistake of the scribe.
