SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:7
Volvi, pues, Jess a decirles: De cierto, de cierto os digo: YO SOY la puerta de las ovejas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 10:7
Verse 7. I am the door of the sheep.] It is through me only that a man can have a lawful entrance into the ministry; and it is through me alone that mankind can be saved. Instead of, I am the door, the Sahidic version reads, I am the shepherd; but this reading is found in no other version, nor in any MS. It is evidently a mistake of the scribe.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. Then said Jesus unto them again , etc.] By way of explanation of the above parable, since they did not understand it: verily, verily, I say unto you ; this is certainly truth, and what may be depended on as such, whether it will be believed or not: I am the door of the sheep ; and of none but them; not of goats, dogs, or swine; none but sheep enter at this door; and all the sheep do sooner or later: Christ is the door to them, by which they enter into a visible church state, and are let into a participation of the ordinances of it, as baptism and the Lords supper: no man comes into a church, at the right door, or in a right way, or has a right to partake of Gospel ordinances, but he that truly believes in Christ, and makes a profession of faith in him: Christ is the door of the under shepherds of the sheep; none are fit to be pastors of churches, but who first enter into a Gospel church at this door, and are qualified, and called, and sent forth by Christ: he is the door of the sheep, by which they are let into the presence of his Father, and have communion with him, and partake of all the blessings of grace; it is through him that sanctifying, justifying, pardoning, and adopting grace, are conveyed unto them, and they brought into the enjoyment of them; it is through him they have all their peace, joy, and comfort, and deliverance from, and victory over all their enemies; through him they have heirship, and a right unto eternal life, and that itself; for he is the door into heaven itself, through which they shall have an abundant entrance into it: and he is the only door into each of these; there is no coming to God the Father but by, and through him; nor to a participation of the blessings of the covenant, nor rightly into a Gospel church state, and to the ordinances of it, nor into heaven at last, but in at this door: and this is a door of faith and hope, and an open one, for all sensible sinners, for all the sheep of Christ, to enter in at; though it is a strait gate, the number being few that enter in at it; and those that do, though they are certainly, yet but scarcely saved; for it is through many tribulations and afflictions that they enter.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-9 - Many who hear the word of Christ, do not understand it, because the will not. But we shall find one scripture expounding another, and the blessed Spirit making known the blessed Jesus. Christ is the Door. An what greater security has the church of God than that the Lord Jesus i between it and all its enemies? He is a door open for passage an communication. Here are plain directions how to come into the fold; we must come in by Jesus Christ as the Door. By faith in him as the grea Mediator between God and man. Also, we have precious promises to thos that observe this direction. Christ has all that care of his church and every believer, which a good shepherd has of his flock; and he expects the church, and every believer, to wait on him, and to keep in his pasture.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
7. The door of the sheep. Meaning the door for the sheep; not the door of the fold. "The thought is connected with the life, and not simply with the organization."
