Giovanni 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.

Giovanni 10:2 In-Context

1 IN verità, in verità, io vi dico, che chi non entra per la porta nell’ovile delle pecore, ma vi sale altronde, esso è rubatore, e ladrone.
2 Ma chi entra per la porta è pastor delle pecore.
3 A costui apre il portinaio, e le pecore ascoltano la sua voce, ed egli chiama le sue pecore per nome, e le conduce fuori.
4 E quando ha messe fuori le sue pecore, va davanti a loro, e le pecore lo seguitano, perciocchè conoscono la sua voce.
5 Ma non seguiteranno lo straniero, anzi se ne fuggiranno da lui, perciocchè non conoscono la voce degli stranieri.
