Yochanan 10:2

2 But the one entering through the derech hasha’ar is Ro’eh haTzon (Shepherd of the flock [of sheep]).

Yochanan 10:2 Meaning and Commentary

John 10:2

But he that entereth in by the door
With a divine commission, and by a divine authority, who comes not of himself, but is sent; does not take the honour to himself, or thrust in himself, and assume an office to himself, but is called unto it, and invested in it, he

is the shepherd of the sheep;
by whom Christ means himself, as is evident from ( John 10:11 John 10:14 ) , whose the sheep are, and who takes care of them, and feeds them, as a shepherd does his flock; and which holds true of any under shepherd, having his mission and commission, and deriving his authority from Christ.

Yochanan 10:2 In-Context

1 0 Omein, omein, I say to you, the one not entering through the derech hasha’ar (way of the entrance) into the mikhla haTzon (fold [enclosure] of the sheep) but going up another derech, that one is a ganav and a shoded (robber) [Rev 13:4].

2 But the one entering through the derech hasha’ar is Ro’eh haTzon (Shepherd of the flock [of sheep]).

3 To this one the doorkeeper opens, and the tzon hears the Ro’eh’s voice and the Ro’eh calls b’shem (by name) each of his own tzon and leads them out. [TEHILLIM 95:7]

4 When the Ro’eh has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the tzon follow the Ro’eh, because they have da’as of the Ro’eh’s voice.

5 But a zar (stranger, foreigner) they will never follow, but will flee from him, because they do not have da’as of the voice of zarim (strangers, foreigners).
