Paul,
In John 10:1 Jesus speaks about a person who does not enter by the door into the "sheepfold". What is the meaning of this word "sheepfold" as compared to the same word in John 10:16?
It seems that verse 1 is speaking of a place where the sheep lived and verse 16 speaks of the sheep themselves. Is there a difference in Aramaic?
Is there any relation of either of these words with the word used in John 10:23 for "porch" or "portico"?
