LAMB OF GOD. This is the Name whereby John the Baptist called Jesus Joh. i. 29, 36.Christ, when he saw him coming to him, to signify the Innocence of this divine Saviour, and his Quality as a Victim which was to be offered up for the Sins of all the World. Lastly, he might allude to these Words of the If. liii. 7.Prophet: He is brought as a Lamb to the Slaughter, and as a Sheep before his Shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his Mouth.
