10:9I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and go out,21 and find pasture.22

Read in Logos
John 10:9: I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.

Footnotes

  1. 21 Since the Greek phrase εἰσέρχομαι καὶ ἐξέρχομαι (eiserchomai kai exerchomai, “come in and go out”) is in some places an idiom for living or conducting oneself in relationship to some community (“to live with, to live among” [cf. Acts 1:21; see also Num 27:17; 2 Chr 1:10]), it may well be that Jesus’ words here look forward to the new covenant community of believers. Another significant NT text is Luke 9:4, where both these verbs occur in the context of the safety and security provided by a given household for the disciples. See also εἰσέρχομαι 1.b.β.
  2. 22 That is, pasture land in contrast to cultivated land.
