Juan 10:2

2 Mas el que entra por la puerta, el pastor de las ovejas es.

Juan 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.

Juan 10:2 In-Context

1 DE cierto, de cierto os digo: El que no entra por la puerta en el corral de las ovejas, mas sube por otra parte, el tal es ladrón y robador.

2 Mas el que entra por la puerta, el pastor de las ovejas es.

3 A éste abre el portero, y las ovejas oyen su voz: y á sus ovejas llama por nombre, y las saca.

4 Y como ha sacado fuera todas las propias, va delante de ellas; y las ovejas le siguen, porque conocen su voz.

5 Mas al extraño no seguirán, antes huirán de él: porque no conocen la voz de los extraños.
