Yes I know it was the tithe just wondered if there could be a meaning to regarding the flock is all but guess not.
God speaks in metaphors and parables so we can relate. To tell us to be a disciple might not make sense to everyone so He tells us we are the sheep. As the people were farmers (crops and cattle).
His sheep are His disciples.
We are all following someone or something, like sheep but hopefully we follow Jesus, our Good Shepherd so we can be His sheep. There are other sheep that follow the Evil shepherd.

Precious friend(s), did you know Paul called no one in The Body Of Christ neither

What it meant to me is that the shepherd is Jesus and it is Jesus alone that does the calling. 22 means light and Jesus is the light of the world. I could be wrong though.
Read the preceeding verse 1st, and then consider what it, "follow me", really entails and what was required ultimately by Peter and how he died, as told him by Jesus in the preceeding verse. Quite profound, and I wonder how many of us would continue as did Peter knowing what his fate would be. He too was crucified, but upside-down.
John 24:18-19
18Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

Well I use the internet for my searching on my own too. If you don't want to search something out I can't help you. I just was stating what 22 meant to me seeing the number.
