Joh 10:9. Δἰ ἐμοῦ, through Me) the Christ known by the sheep, and calling them,-who am the Door. Comp. after thee [“I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow Thee.” Hebr. after Thee], Jer 17:16.-τίς, any man) as a sheep [and a shepherd.-V. g.]-σωθήσεται, he shall be saved) Secure from the wolf. Salvation and pasture are joined, as presently after life and abundance, Joh 10:10, “That they might have life, and have it abundantly.”-εἰσελεύσεται καὶ ἐξελεύσεται, shall go in and go out) By this Hebraic phrase, there is denoted a continual intimacy with the Shepherd and Master. Comp. Act 1:21, “These men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us.” Septuag. Num 27:17; Num 27:21 [ὄστις ἐξελεύσεται καὶ ὄστις εἰσελεύσεται,-καὶ ὅστις ἐξάξει-καὶ εἰσάξει αὐτούς: ἐξελεύσονται-καὶ εἰσελεύσονται, Engl. Vers. “Which may go out before them, and which may go in, and lead them out and bring them in;-At his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in”].-εὑρήσει, shall find) whether he enters in, or goes out: whereas the pasture is unknown to all others. Comp. Exo 16:25, etc., “Eat that to-day: for to-day is a Sabbath unto the Lord; to-day ye shall not find it in the field.”
