Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 10:1-2

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep." — John 10:1-2 (ASV)

Verily, verily, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber. But he who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

The true Shepherd cares for the flock; the false ones are thieves and robbers who only care for the flesh or the fleece.
