    Our Lord being the truth, and the Son of the true God, spoke the truth; but the Jews, being the sons of the devil, were averse to the truth; and this is why our Lord says, Because I tell you the truth, ye believe not.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  11. John 10:10
    The thief cometh not but for to steal, and to kill. As if He said, And well may the sheep not hear the voice of the thief; for he cometh not but for to steal: he usurpeth another's office, forming his followers not on Christ's precepts, but on his own. And therefore it follows, and to kill, i. e. by drawing them from the faith; and to destroy, i. e. by their eternal damnation.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  12. John 10:18
    For the Word doth not receive a command by word, but containeth in Himself all the Father's commandments.

He begat Him perfect.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  14. John 10:22
    Or, it was in memory of the dedication under Judas Maccabeus. The first dedication was that of Solomon in the autumn; the second that of Zorobabel, and the priest Jesus in the spring. This was in winter time.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  15. John 10:23
    It is called Solomon's porch, because Solomon went to pray there. The porches of a temple are usually named after the temple. If the Son of God walked in a temple where the flesh of brute animals was offered up, how much more will He delight to visit our house of prayer, in which His own flesh and blood are consecrated?

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  16. John 10:24

    And thus they intended to give Him into the hands of the Proconsul for punishment, as an usurper against the emperor.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  19. John 10:27-28
    i. e. Obey My precepts from the heart. And I know them, and they follow Me, here by walking in gentleness and innocence, hereafter by entering the joys of eternal life: And I give unto them eternal life.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  20. John 10:32-33
    Healing of the sick, teaching, miracles. He showed them of the Father, because He sought His Father's glory in all of them. For which of these works do ye stone Me? They confess, though reluctantly, the benefit they have received from Him, but charge Him at the same time with blasphemy, for asserting His equality with the Father; For a good work we stone Thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that Thou, being a man, makest Thyself God.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas
