John 1:29

Τῇ ἐπαύριον βλέπει ὁ Ἰωάννης τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐρχόμενον πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ λέγει· Ἴδε ὁ ἀμνὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ αἴρων τὴν ἁμαρτίαν τοῦ κόσμου.

The reader watches events unfold in real time:

John sees. Jesus approaches. John speaks. A profound declaration follows.

The grammar helps create this movement. Greek does not merely tell us that Jesus arrived. It lets us see Him approaching.
