Study note
Setting — John the Baptist speaks to his two disciples as Jesus walks past them. The words — ἐμβλέψας (emblepsas) means “having looked at” and ἴδε (ide) translates literally to “Behold” or “Look.” The thread — John 1:29 first applies the title “Lamb of God” to Jesus while adding that he takes away the sin of the world, and 1 Peter 1:19 later connects the lamb imagery to Christ’s unblemished blood. Why it lands — The text identifies Jesus as the designated sacrificial figure and requires the reader to notice him and respond by following him.
