 Second: Revelation 7: 9-17 - John has a vision of people from every race, nation, tribe etc - standing in front of the Lamb - the Lamb will be their shepherd and lead them to springs of living water.

 Gospel:   John 10: 23-30 -  The Jews say to Jesus "... If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly." He answers " ...but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep ... The sheep that belong to me listen to my voice - I give them eternal life - the Father and I are one."
