I am the gate In this phrase, Jesus identifies Himself as "the gate," which in Greek is "ἡ θύρα" (hē thyra). This metaphor is rich with meaning, drawing from the pastoral imagery familiar to His audience. In ancient times, sheepfolds often had a single entrance, and the shepherd would sometimes lie across the opening to protect the sheep, literally becoming the gate. This highlights Jesus' role as the sole means of access to spiritual safety and community with God. The exclusivity of this claim is significant, emphasizing that salvation and entry into the Kingdom of God are only possible through Him. If anyone enters through Me he will be saved He will come in and go out and find pasture He shall be saved.--The words refer primarily to the dangers without the fold from which he shall be delivered. (See the striking parallel in 1Corinthians 3:15, and Note there.) But in the wider thought they include the salvation from sin which is in this life to be realised, and is a necessary qualification for the pastor's work. And shall go in and out, and find pasture.--The fold will ever be open to him who enters by the Door. He will have perfect freedom to enter, whenever storm or danger or night approaches. He will lead out and find pasture for his flock. In the devotion of his service, and in communion with God, he will daily have an increasing knowledge of truths new and old, and the truths which he learns he will give as food for the souls of men. Verse 9. - I am the Door: by me - by living relation to me - if any man; i.e. either shepherd or sheep, for in this part of the interpretation they are not distinguished, and they alike need "salvation" and "pasture." By me if any man enter, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. "Salvation" here spoken of refers primarily to deliverance from dangers, protection from the ravenous wolves without the fold, and from false shepherds within. "Go in and out" is a phrase frequently used "to denote the free use of an abode by one who is at home in the house" (Deuteronomy 28:6; Deuteronomy 31:2; Acts 1:21). The believer who enters into fellowship with God, and is "saved," does not "go in and out" of that state, but can as a child share by turns the Divine repose of the home, and the high privilege of his sonship in the world. "He claims his share in the inheritance of the world, secure of his home" (Westcott).Parallel Commentaries ...
