To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
To him the porter openeth - `To him is given right of free access, by order of Him to whom the sheep belong'-for it is better not to give this allusion a more specific interpretation. So Calvin, Meyer, Luthardt.
And the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
