A raíz del alboroto ocasionado por la sanidad operada en el ciego de nacimiento que se nos narra en Juan 9, Jesús enuncia las cualidades del buen pastor y establece la diferencia con aquellos que son simples asalariados o ladrones. Sus palabras son motivo de división entre los judíos; unos lo acusan de estar endemoniado … Continue reading “San Juan 10:22-30 Comentario por Miriam Lizeth Bermúdez”

La fiesta de la Dedicación, que se celebra en el mes de diciembre, es conocida ahora como Janucá. Conmemora el evento en la historia en el que los judíos se levantaron contra las fuerzas de Antiojus Epifanes, el rey seléucico que había hecho ilegal la fe judía y había profanado el templo.  Dirigidos por los … Continue reading “San Juan 10:22-30 Comentario por Joel Morales Cruz”

This passage focuses on Jesus’ identity and his relationship with the Father.1 Although the gospel itself emphatically declares Jesus’ identity from the opening sentence (1:1), his identity and the source of his ministry remain a puzzle for many throughout the rest of the story. After two disciples’ initial encounter with Jesus, one of them calls … Continue reading “John 10:22-30 Commentary by Frank L. Crouch”

One of the stunning parts of this text is the location. Jesus is walking through Solomon’s Porch during the festival of lights, or Hanukkah (verse 22-23). This place is important; it was the porch or portico on the east side of the Temple and was called the “Porch of Judgment.” From this location, the King … Continue reading “John 10:22-30 Commentary by Karyn Wiseman”

Throughout John’s Gospel, responses to Jesus vary widely. This is the case once more in chapter 10. Jesus has been in Jerusalem since his arrival for the Festival of Booths in chapter seven (7:10), teaching regularly in the temple complex. His teaching evokes much discussion concerning his identity, origins, and authority, and results in a … Continue reading “John 10:22-30 Commentary by Elisabeth Johnson”

1) En ciertos lugares del mundo sigue habiendo pastores que marchan a la cabeza de sus rebaños. Las ovejas andan sueltas y no hay alambrados que les interrumpan el paso. Transitan por enormes extensiones de montañas y valles siguiendo a un pastor que conoce el terreno y se encarga de conducirlas a lugares con agua … Continue reading “San Juan 10:11-18 Comentario por Andrés Albertsen”

Para una mejor comprensión del texto del evangelio para este domingo es necesario considerar la curación del ciego en Juan 9 y las discusiones que genera con los líderes farisaicos. Nótese cómo la curación narrada en el capítulo 9 es retomada en 10:21, enmarcando así todo el capítulo 10. También es importante tener en cuenta … Continue reading “San Juan 10:11-18 Comentario por Darío Barolin”

In a Gospel text that uses pastoral images of sheep and shepherd, the contemporary preacher is challenged to connect rural metaphor with listeners who remain at several removes from the animating metaphors of this work. What then might be useful in proclaiming this passage? First, the preacher approaches this text mindful of what it might … Continue reading “John 10:11-18 Commentary by Susan Hedahl”

“One flock, one shepherd . . .” On the walk back from the now empty tomb and her encounter in the garden with the risen Christ, we can only imagine the jumble of thoughts, images, and ideas that were swirling in the head of Mary of Magdala. What had just happened to her? Who was … Continue reading “John 10:11-18 Commentary by Lucy Lind Hogan”

The good shepherd discourse, or at least the idea of Jesus as the good shepherd, is one of John’s especially memorable moments that tend to be remembered out of context. While it can have in memory (at least for me) a warm, gentle glow of safety and warmth about it, this discourse actually emerges out … Continue reading “John 10:11-18 Commentary by Meda Stamper”
