He 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 mute, so he didn't open his mouth.
But Yeshua held his shalom. The Kohen Gadol answered him, *I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Messiah, the Son of God.*
Now 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.
