By introducing generalized Jost functions with simple analytic properties we express the exact S matrix of the massive Thirring model (sine-Gordon model) for the fermion-fermion and the two fermion-antifermion channels (soliton-soliton and soliton-antisoliton) in a form very similar to that encountered in one-dimensional potential scattering. Relations between the number of bound states and the phase shifts of the direct and crossed channels (generalized Levinson's theorem) are discussed within this relativistic model.
