Jews and all gentiles.
Another Answer:
The agrarian society of Israel in the 1st Century A.D. would fully understand speech about shepherds, sheep, and lambs. Jesus even explained His original mission was to the entire House of Israel only at first:
Matthew 15:24New International Version (NIV)24 He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."
These were God's 'Chosen' or 'wife' although the people abandoned Him. Upon Jesus' death, which ended the Old Covenant, His blood began the New Covenant now opened to Gentiles too. This is what He was speaking of in John 21 to Peter. Note a lamb is a unconverted Christian while the sheep are those already converted into the Church Jesus established for His Father:
John 21:15-16New International Version (NIV) Jesus Reinstates Peter15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?""Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."
16 Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"
He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."
