Church Fathers on John 10:8

Our Lord, to waken the attention of the Jews, unfolds the meaning of what He has said; Then said Jesus to them again, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

Chrysostom · 4th century

let us enter, and let us enter with joy.

Augustine · 4th century · Lo, the very door which He had shut up, He opens; He is the Door

As if to say, The sheep hear not them, but Me they hear; for I am the Door, and whoever enters by Me not falsely but in sincerity, shall by perseverance be saved.
