Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this,\par\tab {\b He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;\par\tab And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb,\par\tab So he openeth not his mouth:}
And he said unto them, {\cf6 Go and say to that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third {\i day} I am perfected.
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you.\par
He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
