- Exodus 12:22
Take a cluster of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin, and brush the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.
Commentary on Exodus 12:221 voice
For he who is baptized is seen to be purified both according to the law and according to the gospel. According to the law, because Moses sprinkled the blood of the lamb with a bunch of hyssop. According to the gospel, because Christ's garments were white as snow, when in the gospel he showed forth the glory of his resurrection.

- 1 Kings 6:31–35
For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, Solomon constructed doors of olive wood with five-sided doorposts.
Commentary on 1 Kings 6:31–351 voice
As regards the first part of his statement, namely, "he made little doors of olive wood," he seems to have wanted to explain this more clearly when he added "and two doors of olive wood." For there was one entrance to the oracle. But this …
Bede· Of the Temple of Solomon 1.15, 735Patristic
- 1 Kings 7:50
the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers; and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner temple (that is, the Most Holy Place) as well as for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
Commentary on 1 Kings 7:501 voice
If the doors of the inner house of the Holy of Holies are the ministries of angels that unlock the entrance to celestial life for us when we have left the body, and [if] the doors of the house of the temple are the holy …
Bede· Of the Temple of Solomon 2.25.1, 735Patristic
- Proverbs 26:14
As a door turns on its hinges, so the slacker turns on his bed.
Commentary on Proverbs 26:141 voice
As the door turneth upon his hinges,.... And moves this way and that way, and opens and shuts, and yet hangs where it did, is not moved from its place: so doth the slothful upon his bed; he turns himself from side to side, but is still on his bed, and does not move out of it, and go about his business.

- Hosea 2:15
There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
Commentary on Hosea 2:151 voice
"And I will give him its vineyards, from the same place." Because He had previously spoken of flattery and the loneliness of those who left from Egypt, providing it as a similar example. In this example Moses and Aaron had stood as leaders of the Jews, who came from the same people. Now, He promises that he will give him the vineyards from the same place.
Jerome· Commentary on Hosea 2:15, 420Patristic
- Matthew 25:10
But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.
Commentary on Matthew 25:101 voice
But because the season for buying was now past, and the day of judgment was coming on, so that there was no room for penitence, they must not now lay up new works, but give an account of the old. After the day of judgment, there is no more opportunity for good works, or for righteousness, and therefore it follows, And the door was shut.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 420Patristic
- Luke 13:25
After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
Commentary on Luke 13:251 voice
But that they who cannot enter are regarded with wrath, He has shown by an obvious example, as follows, When once the master of the house has risen up, &c. as if when the master of the house who has called many to the banquet has entered in with his guests, and shut to the door, then shall come afterwards men knocking.
Cyril of Alexandria· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 444Patristic
- 1 Corinthians 16:9
because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 16:91 voice
He adds the reason for why he wanted to stay in Ephesus until Pentecost when he says, for a wide door for effective work has opened for me, i.e., I am producing great fruit in Ephesus. And he says, a wide door has opened for …
Thomas Aquinas· Commentary on 1 Corinthians, 1274Patristic
- Revelation 3:7
To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open.
Commentary on Revelation 3:71 voice
"Who has the key of David," that is, royal authority. He says "the key of David" either because Christ was born from his family or because David himself foretold many things concerning Christ. Through the dispensation of Christ, as though by a key, the secrets …

- Revelation 3:8
I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name.
Commentary on Revelation 3:81 voice
The sixth class is the mode of life of the best election. The habit of saints is set forth; of those, to wit, who are lowly in the world, and unskilled in the Scriptures, and who hold the faith immoveably, and are not at all broken down by any chance, or withdrawn from the faith by any fear. Therefore He says to them:- "I have set before thee an open door, because thou hast kept the word of my patience." In such little strength.
