Thematic Bible: Christ Silent


Thematic Bible




And the chief priests began to accuse him [of] many [things].





And the high priest stood up [and] said to him, "Do you reply nothing? What are these [people] testifying against you?" But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, "I put you under oath by the living God, that you tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God!"




So he questioned him {at considerable length}, but he answered nothing to him.


(Now they were saying this to test him, so that they would have [an occasion] to bring charges against him.) But Jesus, bending down, began to write with [his] finger on the ground, taking no notice.
