Bible Verses About the Lamb: 12

"Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed."

— 1 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about the Lamb want Scripture on the sacrificial / Passover / worthy Lamb — Greek amnos and Revelation's Lamb — not only the Lamb of God John 1:29 title inventory alone, the blood of Jesus cleansing list alone, or the atonement exchange inventory alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about Lamb of God, Bible verses about the blood of Jesus, Bible verses about atonement, Bible verses about the cross, Bible verses about the suffering servant, Bible verses about redemption, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about salvation, Bible verses about worship, and Bible verse of the day. The Lamb here means Passover sacrifice and the worthy slain Lamb of Revelation — distinct from the Johannine title page alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Greek, "lamb" often is ἀμνός amnos (Strong's G286; Bible Hub G286) — a lamb. John points to the Lamb of God; Paul names Christ our Passover lamb; Revelation crowns the slain-yet-standing Lamb as worthy. This list gathers that sacrificial / Passover / worthy cluster beyond the single title page.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on John 1 marks John's witness to the Lamb of God who takes away sin (Bible Hub MHC John 1; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on John 1). (Lamb-of-God title inventory lives on that page; this list centers Passover and the worthy Lamb.)
