Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth NOT by the door INTO the sheepfold, but CLIMBETH up some other way, THE SAME IS A THIEF AND A ROBBER.
2 BUT he that entereth in by the door is the SHEPHERD of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by NAME, and LEADETH THEM OUT.
V4 Such as so of Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
4 And WHEN he putteth forth his OWN sheep, HE GOETH BEFORE THEM, and the sheep follow him: FOR THEY know his voice.
When he putteth forth His sheep indeed to stand as the Blind man and more it is Required He GOES BEFORE THEM...and HE WILL ALWAYS be for them which STRIVE WITH HIM and for HIS WILL to be done FOR WE ARE CREATED to PRAISE and WORSHIPP HIM...Psalm 119: 32-33
32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end, &
133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes
...Study and meditate on the Psalms for they will keep you strong in your race...and keep you aware of the stranger about your trail...such as the smallest degree...of a Herod or a Pharisee...regardless they both serve clicks or a form of such...
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
Yet Clearly the Psalms and Laws were made and written aforetime and it clearly tells of this...if you seek it out...Like God loves to be sought out...because of James 1:3-5
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. ...Because they understood not...Jesus Volunteers to give them the understanding...
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I AM THE DOOR OF THE SHEEP.
8 All THAT EVER CAME before me are thieves and robbers: BUT THE SHEEP DID NOT HEAR THEM.
For they know not the voice of strangers, they don't hear them even...
9 I AM THE DOOR: BY E IF ANY MAN ENTER IN, HE SHALL BE SAVED, AND SHALL GO IN AND OUT, AND FIND PASTURE.
10 The 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.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
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.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
The Hireling sees the trouble for the sheep coming and flees when they get in distress they are left to fend for themselves and didn't fight off the mischief and pain caused by the wolf...
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: THEM ALSO I MUST BRING, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I HAVE POWER TO LAY IT DOWN, AND I HAVE POWER TO TAKE IT AGAIN. This commandment have I received of my Father.
SEE JESUS PUT FOR YOU TO SEEK OUT AND SO YOU WOULD KNOW THE PERFECT WAY...
19 There was a division therefore AGAIN among the Jews for these sayings.
AGAIN, they accuse Him of having a devil and is mad...because HE was preaching the TRUTH...
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
Here they are again the Jews slanting to the fact and again accusing him that He is causing them to doubt...Nay! BUT TO ONLY SEE the TRUTH... He never made them DOUBT...but they are going to stick with their OLD stiff necked ways...
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
Then Jesus States Plainly .... "I told you, and ye believed not" He didn't ignore them He answered them...
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, THEY BEAR WITNESS OF ME.
26 BUT YE BELIEVED NOT, because YE ARE NOT OF MY SHEEP, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them ETERNAL LIFE; and THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH, neither shall ANY man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30 I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.
Again they Took up STONES to Stone Him for telling the TRUTH...
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
He asked them for WHICH "GOOD WORKS" do ye stone me?
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
He was GOD...but their blindness crucifies JESUS CHRIST their MESSIAH because HE Didn't come in the fashion as they perceived Him to do or TO BE...Since when does the Creator Bow the Creation...NO HE Didn't when HE WASHED their feet...it was a showing of LOVE with utter humility for the feet in the Jewish custom there is nothing lower...
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
YE ARE GODS?...a ponder...which is a person knows of good and evil, for after the serpent beguiled Eve, they saw good and evil...
Genesis 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil
Psalm 82
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
Hence and WHY JOHN 10:4...is a reflection of many Psalm for He is a Shield and Buckler to All Those that TRUST in HIS Name...See Angels don't have a choice but they can exceed in per Psalm 103...or they can still fall...and we knowing things and the devil can only give us the thought it is up to us to denounce or follow...It is a CHOICE of FREEWILL of Humans knowing what we know Hence why King David said this with utter fear for Hell was made by GOD not s. and hell is righteous and perfect in GOD's SOUND perfect Judgment...My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. Psalm 119:109 It is indeed your decision to Make it to Heaven or NOT...for the HIS Word Tells of IT Clearly Meditate on them and pray as David prayed...Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. Psalm 119:27
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and THE SCRIPTURE CANNOT BE BROKEN;
SEE NO SCRIPTURE can be BROKEN, and then He DIRECTS with HIS RESPONSE, V36 Say YE OF HIM, such as telling them this...so you are telling me Whom the Father has sent to be the Lamb of GOD which is pure before all, that I blasphemed ... now this is His creation judging me Him and they know NOT what they are judging...the look in HIS EYE at this time I would love to see...for I would search out the deepness thereof and not that which appeared to the eye...as so many...for HIS FRUIT is so pure...
36 SAY YE OF HIM, WHOM THE FATHER HATH SANCTIFIED, and SENT INTO THE WORLD, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 IF I DO NOT THE WORKS OF MY FATHER, BELIEVE ME NOT.
38 But IF I DO, though ye believe not me, BELIEVE THE WORKS: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
AGAIN!!! THEY SOUGHT TO STONE AND TAKE HIM...FOR WHAT SPEAKING THE TRUTH...
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
42 And many believed on him there.
For John the Baptist was the forerunner...and was true indeed...
