When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, 'Look, the Lamb of God!' — the Baptist repeats his identification, now directing his own disciples toward Jesus. This repetition serves literary and theological purposes: it reinforces the title and demonstrates the Baptist's willingness to relinquish followers to Jesus. The disciples' attention now transfers from the Baptist to Jesus, enacting the Gospel's transfer of allegiance.
