Context: John 10
7Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

Commentary
John 10 is a chapter that speaks to the power of Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Jesus is described as the gatekeeper of the sheepfold, and He is the only one who can enter and exit the fold. He is the one who knows His sheep and calls them by name. He is the one who lays down His life for the sheep, and He is the one who will protect them from the thief and the robber.
