Exegesis
Ho thyrōros {ὁ θυρωρός | ho thyrōrós} ‘the doorkeeper’ is the subject of the first clause, and anoigei {ἀνοίγει | anoígei} ‘opens’ introduces a present-tense action that reads as characteristic rather than momentary.
Root and etymology
thyrathýra | theta upsilon rho alpha
“door, gate”
In context — John 10:3
The doorkeeper opens for this one, and the sheep heed His voice; He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out.
