Matthew Poole and continuators on John 10:9

9 I am the door, by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved , and shall go in and out, and find pasture .

Our Saviour here lets us know, that he meant by the Door in, the former ver. the Door of Salvation; the way by which every man must enter into Life, that findeth Life; not the door onely by which every true Pastor must enter into the Church, but by which every Soul that shall be saved, must enter into Heaven; which is the Doctrine which he before taught, Iohn 3.16, 18, 36.

And he, who so believeth in me, shall be so guided, and govern'd, and taught, that he shall be secure, and want nothing for the managery of his whole conversation in the World. Under the Notion of Pasture here, are signified all good things that the Soul can stand in need of: It is much the same promise with that chap. 6.35. He that cometh to me, shall never hunger; and he that believeth in me, shall never thirst. And with that Psal. 84.11. as also with the 23 Psalm; to which Psalm our Saviour is thought in this Parable to have a special reference.
