Numbers 27:12-23
English Standard Version
Joshua to Succeed Moses
12 The Lord said to Moses, “Go up into (A)this mountain of Abarim and see the land that I have given to the people of Israel. 13 When you have seen it, you also (B)shall be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was, 14 (C)because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin when the congregation quarreled, failing (D)to uphold me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” (These are (E)the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) 15 Moses spoke to the Lord, saying, 16 “Let the Lord, (F)the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation 17 who (G)shall go out before them and come in before them, who shall lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be (H)as sheep that have no shepherd.” 18 So the Lord said to Moses, “Take (I)Joshua the son of Nun, a man (J)in whom is the Spirit, and (K)lay your hand on him. 19 Make him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation, and you shall (L)commission him in their sight. 20 You shall invest him with some of your authority, (M)that all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey. 21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him (N)by the judgment of the Urim before the Lord. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the people of Israel with him, the whole congregation.” 22 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and made him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation, 23 and he laid his hands on him and (O)commissioned him as the Lord directed through Moses.

Revelation 7:9-17
English Standard Version
A Great Multitude from Every Nation
9 After this I looked, and behold, (A)a great multitude that no one could number, (B)from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, (C)clothed in white robes, with (D)palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, (E)“Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and (F)the four living creatures, and they (G)fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 (H)saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, (I)clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” 14 I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of (J)the great tribulation. (K)They have washed their robes and (L)made them white (M)in the blood of the Lamb.
15 “Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and (N)serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne (O)will shelter them with his presence.
16 (P)They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
(Q)the sun shall not strike them,
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne (R)will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of (S)living water,
and (T)God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
John 10:22-30
English Standard Version
I and the Father Are One
22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, (A)in the colonnade of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are (B)the Christ, (C)tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. (D)The works that I do (E)in my Father's name bear witness about me, 26 but (F)you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 27 (G)My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 (H)I give them eternal life, and (I)they will never perish, and (J)no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, (K)who has given them to me,[a] (L)is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of (M)the Father's hand. 30 (N)I and the Father are one.”
