John 1:36

John 1:36

34 And I have seen and testified that this is the ^aSon of God.”

The First Disciples

35 Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples.

36 And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, ^a“Behold the Lamb of God!”

37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they ^afollowed Jesus.

38 Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?” They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), “where are You staying?”

39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour).

40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was ^aAndrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the¹ Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ).

He looked (embleyav). First aorist active participle of emblepw, antecedent action before legei (says).

As he walked (peripatounti). Present active participle in dative case after embleyav and like erxomenon in verse John 1:29 vividly pictures the rapture of John in this vision of Jesus, so far as we know the third and last glimpse of Jesus by John (the baptism, verse John 1:29, and here).

Saith (legei). Historical present, change from isthkei before. He repeats part of the tribute in verse John 1:29.
