Commentary on John 1:36
John, 'looking upon Jesus as he walked' (emblepsas to Iesou peripatounti), repeats his testimony: 'Behold the Lamb of God.' The verb 'emblepo' means to gaze intently, fix attention upon. John's concentrated focus on Christ models contemplative devotion that leads to proclamation. The repetition of 'Lamb of God' from verse 29 emphasizes this central identification. Jesus' walking suggests ordinary movement, yet John sees extraordinary identity. Recognizing Christ in His humility requires spiritual eyes.
