Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 10:1-42

Chapter 10So chapter 10, it would seem to be as just a continuation of this whole movement here of the blind man receiving his sight, being put out by the organized religious system, being taken in by Jesus Christ. And so Jesus said,Verily, verily I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber ( John 10:1 ).Now later on He said, "I am the door." If a man tries to come by any other system, by any other way,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 10:1-42

John 10:1 . He that entereth not by the door is a thief and a robber. After the scribes had formed a plot against the life of the good shepherd, he told them that they were not the children of Abraham, but were of the serpent’s race. He now denounces them as impostors in the sanctuary, and not “moved by the Holy Ghost to take upon them that office and ministry.” They had assumed the sacred dignities for bread, for honour, for the splendour of robes to command the respect of the people. They... read more

John 10:11-15I am the Good ShepherdChrist the Good ShepherdChrist is “the Good Shepherd.” He is this because I. He OWNS the sheep. He is the Proprietor of the flock. They are His 1. By the gift of the Father. “Thine they were, and Thou gavest them Me.” 2. By creative ties. “His own”--sheep which are His even before they are called. 3. By purchase. “The Good Shepherd giveth” as a deposit, layeth down as a pledge, “His life for the sheep” (Hebrews 13:20). The blood He shed was not in His own... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 10:1-21

§ 84. RESTORATION OF THE BLIND-BORN AND FOURTH DISCOURSE AT THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES, John 9:1 John 10:21 .

Through chapter ix the spiritual lords of Jerusalem show themselves false shepherds, as the blind-born is a true representative sheep; and through John 10:1-21 Jesus contrasts the ... read more
