379

The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"

When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you want?"

They said, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

"Come," he replied, "and you will see."

So they went and saw where he was staying and spent that day with them. It was about the tenth hour. 

John 1:35-39


The only time "lamb" and "God" appear in the Bible before they appear here is in Genesis 22.


verse 8 - Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son."


If you remember the story, God asked Abraham to sacrifice his one and only son, Isaac, as an offering on Mount Moriah. Thousands of years later, God sacrificed his one and only son near Mount Moriah in a place called Golgatha. 


He provided a lamb for Abraham. He did not for himself.
