Paragraph 2. JESUS DIED CRUCIFIED
608
After agreeing to baptize him along with the sinners, John the Baptist looked
at Jesus and pointed him out as the “Lamb of God, who takes away the sin
of the world”.422 By doing so, he reveals that Jesus is at the
same time the suffering Servant who silently allows himself to be led to the
slaughter and who bears the sin of the multitudes, and also the Paschal Lamb,
the symbol of Israel’s redemption at the first Passover.423 Christ’s
whole life expresses his mission: “to serve, and to give his life as a ransom
for many.”424
