ABSTRACT
Of all the books of the Bible*, the Gospel of John is the only one to use the phrase “Lamb of God.” With the exception of the two passages concerned (Jn 1:29, 1:36), amnos for “lamb,” only appears in Acts 8:32 and 1 Peter 1:19. The term used in Revelation is arnion (28 times). Interpretation will vary depending on what one considers to be the completed form of the figure of the book, thus granting the christological titles of John 1:19-51 their full meaning, or, depending on whether one refers to the origins, adhering to a more archeological approach.
