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 contextJohn 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.
