Luke 23:9

¹⁴He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

⁹I was mute. I didn’t open my mouth, because you did it.

¹I said, “I will watch my ways, so that I don’t sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me.” ²I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.

³²He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.

¹³But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth. ¹⁴Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

²³When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

⁷He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.

⁶“Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

³²Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.
