George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - John 10:11

How happy are we in having such a shepherd, so great, so good, so loving, so careful of our true welfare! O he is the true shepherd indeed, that came down from heaven to seek the poor sheep that was lost; and when he found it, took it upon his own shoulders to carry it home with joy to his heavenly fold. How dearly have his sheep cost him, for truly has he made good in himself sentence, that the good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. Let us then ever follow and obey, love and embrace... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 10:10-18

10-18 Christ is a good Shepherd; many who were not thieves, yet were careless in their duty, and by their neglect the flock was much hurt. Bad principles are the root of bad practices. The Lord Jesus knows whom he has chosen, and is sure of them; they also know whom they have trusted, and are sure of Him. See here the grace of Christ; since none could demand his life of him, he laid it down of himself for our redemption. He offered himself to be the Saviour; Lo, I come. And the necessity of our... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 10:1-99

John 10 THERE IS NO real break where this chapter commences in our Bibles. The Lord’s answer which commenced in the last verse of the ninth chapter, continues to the end of verse Joh_10:5 of this chapter. He propounded to them the parable of the Shepherd and the fold, and it illustrated the point, inasmuch as there were not only “the sheep” but also “His own sheep.” These last knew the Shepherd’s voice and so recognized Him. The man of the previous chapter was one of “His own sheep.” The... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 10:11-16

Jesus the Good Shepherd: v. 11. I am the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep. v. 12. But he that is an hireling, and not the Shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. v. 13. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. v. 14. I am the Good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine. v. 15. As the Father... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 10:7-18

Jesus the Good Shepherd John 10:7-18 He who came in by the door which John the Baptist opened has become the door. It stands open to all comers- if any man. The salvation here mentioned refers to the entire process of soul-health: go in for fellowship; go out for service. Wherever destruction is uppermost in speech or act, you may detect the presence of the great enemy of souls. Christ is ever constructive, saving, life-giving. Let us not be content until our life has become abundant... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 10:1-42

Continuing, He gave a more detailed picture of that coming order. There was to be a fold, with a door. There was to be a flock, with a shepherd. Entrance to the fold would be by the door. The flock would know and follow the shepherd. Here John declared, "They understood not what things they were that He spake unto them"; and that "therefore" of Jesus shows that what followed in His teaching resulted from their failure to understand. This fuller statement centers on two principal claims of our... read more

Robert Neighbour

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 10:1-18

The Door of the Sheepfold John 10:1-18 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Let us consider the all-inclusiveness, and the all-exclusive-ness of Christ, as introductory to our theme. First of all Christ said: "I am THE door." Then, He also said, "He that climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber." 1. The all-inclusiveness of Christ excludes all things else. One door and only one, but that's enough for thee; Enter in, and be thou saved, salvation's full and free. Think not to say within... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 10:11

THE GOOD SHEPHERD‘I am the Good Shepherd.’ John 10:11 When our Blessed Lord called Himself the Good Shepherd, and spoke of His loving care for His sheep, those who heard Him felt the full force of the beautiful and original allegory. He spoke to men who came of a shepherd race. He appealed to those who knew what a shepherd’s life was. A more fitting illustration could not have been chosen, and time has only shown how fully and universally the allegory has been appreciated. I. The Shepherd... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 10:1-18

The Good Shepherd and the False Shepherds (John 10:1-18 ). The way that the parable opens emphasises the fact that the parable is as much about the false shepherds as it is about the true. It is a studied warning against looking to false teachers and false leaders, although having said that it at the same time contrasts and highlights the true Shepherd. read more
