Why is this considered a Parable? It isn't. it's a metaphor. there aren't any parables in John. if this is a metaphor, why aren't all the "I am" statements parables?
You could call it Jesus the Good Shepherd, that's the name UBS uses for 10:7-21. The point is that it's not a parable about a Good Shepherd, John specifically claims that Jesus is the Good Shepherd. 75.14.212.250 06:44, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't know guys. According to what I've read, a parable is a metaphor in which something that is known is used to relate to something that is unknown. Isn't Jesus using something that is known, a shepherd, to relate to something not completely known, the nature of following him? Roy Brumback 10:57, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

John 10:1–5 is potentially a stand-alone parable of Jesus, which UBS calls "Parable of the Sheepfold", John 10:6 calls it a "figure of speach", Strong's G3942, however, John 10:7 states I am the gate, which makes it a metaphor. 75.15.206.108 19:42, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
I agree, it should move, it is not a parable. 75.14.215.71 18:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
What does this sentence mean:
In the surrounding context of the allegorical story of the Good Shepherd (John 9:35-41 and John 10:22-30) depicts the people around Jesus realized that he was asserting that he was God.
It reads like it's grammatically incorrect.

"This story is commonly called a parable" by whom? I have never heard it called a parable. This sentence and the relevant heading should be changed.
This article is massively inadequate and misrepresentative. As the following Wiki article explains, the idea of a god as shepherd existed CENTURIES before Jesus -- most commonly in the form of Hermes carrying a lamb around his neck. In art, such depictions are known as the Kriphoroi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriophoros#Kriophoroi_and_.22The_Good_Shepherd.22 76.113.64.124 ( talk) 14:33, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
