John

1:29-42

King James Version Chapter 1

29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which ||taketh away the sin of the world. 30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. 31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. 32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. 34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; 36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? 39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. 40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. 42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

A lamb is a young sheep, typically under one year old. It's also used to refer to the meat of a young sheep, often considered more tender and delicate than mutton (older sheep meat). In addition, "lamb" can metaphorically refer to a gentle, meek, or innocent person, especially a child. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Young Sheep:A lamb is simply a baby sheep, distinguishable from older sheep by its age. 

Meat:When referring to food, lamb is the meat of a young sheep, generally under 12-14 months old. 

Figurative Use:The term "lamb" can also be used figuratively to describe someone who is gentle, innocent, or easily led. 

Sheep Animal — Sheep were the most numerous domestic animals in ancient Israel, and they are mentioned more than 500 times in the Bible.

He is not only the Lamb taking the place of the Sheep. But He is the Shepherd.

so They called him Rabbi.

We think of Rabbi as a teacher but hear Rabbi is master.
