7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
7 Therefore Jesus said again, "Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
7 So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
7 So he tried again. "I'll be explicit, then. I am the Gate for the sheep.
7 Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
7 so he explained it to them: "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 10:7
Commentary on John 10:6-9
(Read John 10:6-9)
Many who hear the word of Christ, do not understand it, because they will not. But we shall find one scripture expounding another, and the blessed Spirit making known the blessed Jesus. Christ is the Door. And what greater security has the church of God than that the Lord Jesus is between it and all its enemies? He is a door open for passage and communication. Here are plain directions how to come into the fold; we must come in by Jesus Christ as the Door. By faith in him as the great Mediator between God and man. Also, we have precious promises to those that observe this direction. Christ has all that care of his church, and every believer, which a good shepherd has of his flock; and he expects the church, and every believer, to wait on him, and to keep in his pasture.
