Exegesis
The nominal clause ho amnos tou theou {ὁ ἀμνὸς τοῦ θεοῦ | ho am-nòs toû the-oû} consists of the articular noun “the lamb” modified by a genitive of possession or source “of God,” functioning as a titular identification rather than a mere descriptive phrase. English does not naturally preserve the participial framing and historical present, so the formal rendering keeps the participial sense (“having looked”) while maintaining the sequence of perception followed by speech, whereas the dynamic rendering reshapes the participial construction into a temporal clause (“As Jesus walked by”) to reflect natural narrative flow while retaining the focus on the climactic title “the Lamb of God.”
Root and etymology
amnosalpha–mu–nu–omicron–sigma

In context — John 1:36
And having looked at Jesus as He was walking, he says, “Behold, the Lamb of God .”
