He was so fully satisfied, That he looked for iniquity, and he found none, (says the text.) He looked over all his books, to see if he could find any thing upon the score, but he found none: all our debts were paid. Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world. He does not say, That takes away the sin of the Jews only; but takes away the sin of the whole world. He does not say, That takes away the sins, (in the plural Number) but takes away the sin) (in the singular Number:) Sins go so together, as if they were but one: but let the sin be never so twisted together, as if it were but one sin, this lamb of God, he takes away the sin of the world. And he does not say, That hath pardoned the sin of the World: for then a poor soul might say, I but, though he hath pardoned my sin, yet my sin is not mortified. Neither does he say, Behold the lamb of God that Mortifies, or Destroys the sin of the world: But he gives you a word, that takes in, both pardon, and Mortification too. Behold the lamb of God that takes them away: both in regard of Pardon, and in regard of Mortification: Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
