I guess JtB was in the habit of always greeting Jesus with "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."
"You need a shorter greeting, John." said Jesus after the 10th time, "Try, 'Hey Jesus' like everyone else."
That was not a greeting, it was an introduction to others, indicating John had met Jesus on a previous occasion.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
