For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 7 of Revelation. One of the elders explains that the multitude in white robes has come out of the great tribulation and has washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb. The paradox of washing in blood to obtain whiteness expresses the cleansing efficacy of Christ’s sacrifice. The promise includes presence before the throne, service in the temple, and pastoral protection from the Lamb. The one who was sacrificed now appears as the shepherd who leads them to springs of the water of life, and God wipes away every tear.

denn das Lamm mitten im Stuhl wird sie weiden und leiten zu den lebendigen Wasserbrunnen, und Gott wird abwischen alle Tränen von ihren Augen.
Porque el Cordero que está en medio del trono los pastoreará, y los guiará a fuentes vivas de aguas: y Dios limpiará toda lágrima de los ojos de ellos.
porque el Cordero que está en medio del trono los pastoreará y los guiará a manantiales de aguas de vida. Y Dios enjugará toda lágrima de sus ojos».
Car l'agneau qui est au milieu du trône les paîtra et les conduira aux sources des eaux de la vie, et Dieu essuiera toute larme de leurs yeux.
perciocchè l’Agnello che è in mezzo del trono li pasturerà, e li guiderà alle vive fonti delle acque; e Iddio asciugherà ogni lagrima dagli occhi loro
Porque o Cordeiro que está no meio do trono os apascentará, e lhes servirá de guia para as fontes das águas da vida; e Deus limpará de seus olhos toda a lágrima.
因為寶座中的羔羊必牧養他們, 領他們到生命水的泉源; 上帝必擦去他們一切的眼淚。」
