Matthew Poole and continuators on John 1:36

36 And looking upon▪ Jesus as he walked , he said , Behold the lamb of God .

Iohn stood with two of his Disciples, whether he was Preaching or no, it is not said; but Iohn standing with them, saw Christ walking, whence, or whither, is not said; but as a good man is always taking opportunity to commend Christ to others; so Iohn

upon this occasion, took advantage further to make Christ known to those two men (who they were, we shall hear in the following Verses), and repeats the words he had said before Behold the Lamb of God. (See the Notes on v. 27.) Thus good and faithful Ministers will continually be inviting their Disciples to Christ, taking them off from further consideration of themselves, and as Ministers to shew them the way to Christ.
