4 mentions across 3 books

John the Baptist's announcement when he saw Jesus: 'Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!' (John 1:29). It connects Jesus to the entire Old Testament sacrificial system — especially the Passover lamb whose blood saved Israel from death in Egypt. Jesus IS that lamb, once and for all.
