The writer of John also seems to put much more focus on Jesus as a sacrificial lamb. An example of John's attention on Jesus as the sacrificial lamb is that John has Jesus being crucified on the day of preparation for Passover, where as the gospel of Mark has Jesus dying the next day - on the day of Passover. The day of preparation for Passover is when Jews slaughtered a lamb which was to be the Passover meal, so the symbolism of Jesus dying on the same day as the Passover lambs is pretty clear. Not coincidentally, John is the only gospel that labels Jesus as the "Lamb of God who dies for the sins of the world". That idea isn't referenced in the other Gospels. For the other gospel writers, there's no mention of Jesus dying for our sins. He just died for, presumably, claiming to be King of the Jews.
interesting.......mostly untrue.....but irrelevant nonetheless.........you asked me where Jesus said he died for our sins.......I gave it to you.....basically your response is "yeah but he only did it once".......even that is not true.......the entirety of scripture, OT and NT tells us the same......
Isaiah 6:5
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
