"He was treated harshly, but endured it humbly; he never said a word. Like a lamb about to be slaughtered, like a sheep about to be sheared, he never said a word.

He was arrested and sentenced and led off to die, and no one cared about his fate. He was put to death for the sins of our people.

You allowed us to be slaughtered like sheep; you scattered us in foreign countries.

You sold your own people for a small price as though they had little value.

I was like a trusting lamb taken out to be killed, and I did not know that it was against me that they were planning evil things. They were saying, "Let's chop down the tree while it is still healthy; let's kill him so that no one will remember him any more."

But, LORD, you know me; you see what I do and how I love you. Drag these evil people away like sheep to be butchered; guard them until it is time for them to be slaughtered.

I will take them to be slaughtered, like lambs, goats, and rams. I, the LORD, have spoken."

As the scripture says, "For your sake we are in danger of death at all times; we are treated like sheep that are going to be slaughtered."

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

it was the costly sacrifice of Christ, who was like a lamb without defect or flaw.

It was to this that God called you, for Christ himself suffered for you and left you an example, so that you would follow in his steps.

When he was insulted, he did not answer back with an insult; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but placed his hopes in God, the righteous Judge.

I kept quiet, not saying a word, not even about anything good! But my suffering only grew worse,

I will keep quiet, I will not say a word, for you are the one who made me suffer like this.

The High Priest stood up and said to Jesus, "Have you no answer to give to this accusation against you?"

But Jesus kept quiet. Again the High Priest spoke to him, "In the name of the living God I now put you under oath: tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God."

Jesus said, "Forgive them, Father! They don't know what they are doing." They divided his clothes among themselves by throwing dice.

(He said this so that what he had said might come true: "Father, I have not lost even one of those you gave me.")

Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back in its place! Do you think that I will not drink the cup of suffering which my Father has given me?"
