Study Note

John the Baptist's identification of Jesus as 'the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world' (ho amnos tou theou ho airōn tēn hamartian tou kosmou) synthesizes multiple biblical traditions: the Passover lamb (Exodus 12), the daily burnt offerings (Numbers 28:3-4), and the suffering Servant of Isaiah 53 ('like a lamb led to slaughter'). The singular 'sin of the world' (not 'sins,' plural) suggests a comprehensive dealing with the condition and power of sin, not merely individual transgressions. The universal scope — 'of the world' (tou kosmou) — places the atoning work beyond ethnic or covenant boundaries, anticipating John's universalistic soteriology (3:16; 12:32). Revelation applies lamb imagery to the risen Christ more than twenty times, making 'the Lamb' the dominant Christological title in John's Apocalypse.
