Exegesis

The nominative phrase ho amnos tou theou {ὁ ἀμνὸς τοῦ θεοῦ | ho am-nós toû the-oû} stands as a christological title; syntactically it is linked with the imperative as what is to be seen and functions as a nominative in exclamation or implied predicate (“Here is the Lamb of God”).

The following articular participial construction ho airon ten hamartian tou kosmou {ὁ αἴρων τὴν ἁμαρτίαν τοῦ κόσμου | ho aí-rōn tḕn ha-mar-tí-an toû kós-mou} is in apposition to ho amnos, specifying His defining activity. The participle airon, made substantive by the article ho, expresses a characteristic, ongoing action: “the One who is taking away.”
