SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:2
Mas el que entra por la puerta, el pastor de las ovejas es.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 10:2
Verse 2. He that entereth in by the door] Observe here the marks, qualities, and duties of a good pastor; The first mark is, that he has a lawful entrance into the ministry by the internal call of Christ, namely, by an impulse proceeding from his Spirit, upon considerations which respect only his glory, and upon motives which aim at nothing but the good of his Church, the salvation of souls, the doing the will of God, and the sacrificing himself entirely to his service, and to that of the meanest of his flock.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. But he that entereth in by the door , etc.] With a divine commission, and by a divine authority, who comes not of himself, but is sent; does not take the honour to himself, or thrust in himself, and assume an office to himself, but is called unto it, and invested in it, he is the shepherd of the sheep ; by whom Christ means himself, as is evident from ( John 10:11,14), whose the sheep are, and who takes care of them, and feeds them, as a shepherd does his flock; and which holds true of any under shepherd, having his mission and commission, and deriving his authority from Christ.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - Here is a parable or similitude, taken from the customs of the East, in the management of sheep. Men, as creatures depending on their Creator are called the sheep of his pasture. The church of God in the world is as a sheep-fold, exposed to deceivers and persecutors. The grea Shepherd of the sheep knows all that are his, guards them by his providence, guides them by his Spirit and word, and goes before them as the Eastern shepherds went before their sheep, to set them in the way of his steps. Ministers must serve the sheep in their spiritual concerns. The Spirit of Christ will set before them an open door. The sheep of Christ will observe their Shepherd, and be cautious and shy of strangers, who would draw them from faith in him to fancies about him.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
2. The shepherd (poimhn). Better, a shepherd. It is the character rather than the person that is contemplated.
