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

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - John 10:14-15

John THE GOOD SHEPHERD Joh_10:14 - Joh_10:15 . ‘I am the Good Shepherd.’ Perhaps even Christ never spoke more fruitful words than these. Just think how many solitary, wearied hearts they have cheered, and what a wealth of encouragement and comfort there has been in them for all generations. The little child as it lays itself down to sleep, cries- ‘Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me, Bless Thy little lamb to-night,’ and the old man lays himself down to die murmuring to himself, ‘Though I walk... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - John 10:16

John ‘OTHER SHEEP’ 1 Joh_10:16 . There were many strange and bitter lessons in this discourse for the false shepherds, the Pharisees, to whom it was first spoken. But there was not one which would jar more upon their minds, and as they fancied, on their sacredest convictions, than this, that God’s flock was wider than God’s fold. Our Lord distinctly recognises Judaism with its middle wall of partition as a divine institution, and then as distinctly carries His gaze beyond it. To His hearers... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

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
