³² Now the place in the book where he was reading was this: He was taken, like a sheep, to be put to death; and as a lamb is quiet when its wool is being cut, so he made no sound:

⁷ Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word.

⁸ They took away from him help and right, and who gave a thought to his fate? for he was cut off from the land of the living: he came to his death for the sin of my people.

²¹ This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps:

²² Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth:

²³ To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:

²⁴ He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.

⁴⁰ I will make them go down to death like lambs, like he-goats together.

²⁹ The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

² I made no sound, I said no word, even of good; and I was moved with sorrow.

¹¹ You have made us like sheep which are taken for meat; we are put to flight among the nations.

¹² You let your people go for nothing; your wealth is not increased by their price.

¹⁹ But I was like a gentle lamb taken to be put to death; I had no thought that they were designing evil against me, saying, Come and let us make trouble his food, cutting him off from the land of the living, so that there may be no more memory of his name.

³ But you, O Lord, have knowledge of me; you see me, searching and testing how my heart is with you: let them be pulled out like sheep to be put to death, make them ready for the day of death.

³⁶ As it is said in the holy Writings, Because of you we are put to death every day; we are like sheep ready for destruction.

⁹ I was quiet, and kept my mouth shut; because you had done it.

⁶² And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you?

⁶³ But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.

¹⁹ But through holy blood, like that of a clean and unmarked lamb, even the blood of Christ:

³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.
