• Who takes away the sin (not the sins) of the world. That is to say, He restores (not all the wicked, but) the foundations of the world’s relations with God. (“John 1” by J.N. Darby)
• “Taketh away the sin of the world.” The verse is not about the work of the Lamb in bearing our sins, but His work as the basis for a world without sin wherein dwells everlasting righteousness (John 5:22,27; Rev. 5; 1 Cor. 15:25,28; Rev. 21:1,3). (“Help on Hard Verses” by A.C. Brown)
• “Behold the Lamb (ἀμνὸς) of God.” In the Book of Revelation He is frequently viewed as the Lamb, but there with a pointedly different word (ἀρνίον), the holy earth-rejected Sufferer, in contrast with the ravening wild beasts, civil or religious instruments of Satan’s power in the world (chapter 13). Here the idea seems to center not so much in the slain One exalted on high as in the sacrifice. (“John 1” by W. Kelly)
• It is, as frequently in John and elsewhere, the abstract form of speech; and the meaning should be understood in its fullest extent, irrespective of the time of its accomplishment. There was the Person, and this His work. (“John 1” by W. Kelly)
• Observe, however, that the Baptist does not say the “sins” of the world….The blood is now shed for the sin of the world, so that the evangelist can go forth and preach the gospel and assure all who believe of pardon from God; but all who refuse must die in their sins. (“John 1” by W. Kelly)

The Lamb (Amnos) seems to centre not so much in the slain One exalted on high, as in the sacrifice. It was the daily sacrifice of Israel, morning and evening. In the book of Revelation, He is frequently viewed as the Lamb, but there with a pointedly different word (Arniōn), the holy earth-rejected Sufferer, in contrast with the ravening wild Beasts, civil or religious instruments of Satan’s power in the world.
