'Silent' in the Bible

Listen carefully, you will be continually silent and unable to speak until the day when these things take place, because you did not believe what I told you; but my words will be fulfilled at their proper time.”

But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent (muzzled, gagged) and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown the man down among them, he came out of him without injuring him in any way.

But they kept silent. Then He took hold of the man and healed him, and sent him on his way.

Jesus replied, “I tell you, if these [people] keep silent, the stones will cry out [in praise]!”

They were not able to seize on anything He said in the presence of the people; and being unnerved at His reply, they were silent.
