John 10:7

Then said Jesus unto them again Better, Therefore said Jesus again. They did not understand; thereforeHe went through the allegory againmore explicitly, interpreting the main features. -Unto them" is of doubtful authority.

Verily, verily This is theimportant point, to recognise that the one door of the fold, through which the sheep and the shepherds enter, is Christ. I(with great emphasis) am the Door. Comp. -I am the Way" (John 14:6).

the door of the sheep Better, -the Door tothe sheep" (John 10:1), and also -the Door forthe sheep" (John 10:9). Sheep and shepherds alike have one and the same door. The elect enter the Church through Christ; the ministers who would visit the flocks must receive their commission from Christ. Note that Christ does not say, -the Door of the fold," but -the Door of the sheep." The fold has no meaning apart from the sheep.
