Psalms 38:13-15
38:13 But I am like a deaf man – I hear nothing;
I am like a mute who cannot speak.
38:14 I am like a man who cannot hear
and is incapable of arguing his defense.
38:15 Yet I wait for you, O Lord!
You will respond, O Lord, my God!
Isaiah 53:7
53:7 He was treated harshly and afflicted,
but he did not even open his mouth.
Like a lamb led to the slaughtering block,
like a sheep silent before her shearers,
he did not even open his mouth.
Matthew 27:12-14
27:12 But when he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not respond.
27:13 Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many charges they are bringing against you?”
27:14 But he did not answer even one accusation, so that the governor was quite amazed.
Mark 15:3-5
15:3 Then
the chief priests began to accuse him repeatedly.
15:4 So Pilate asked him again,

Acts 8:32-33
8:32 Now the passage of scripture the man
was reading was this:
“He was led like a sheep to slaughter,
and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8:33 In humiliation justice was taken from him.
Who can describe his posterity?
For his life was taken away from the earth.”
Philippians 1:28
1:28 and by not being intimidated in any way by your opponents. This is
a sign of their
destruction, but of your salvation – a sign which
is from God.
