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:

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

(He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)

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.

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

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:
