The New Life In Christ: In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. Acts 8:33.

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward.

Finally two came forward and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.”

Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?”

But Jesus remained silent. Matthew 26:59-63.

The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”

But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed. Mark 15:3-5.

The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture:

“He was led like a sheep to the

slaughter,

and as a lamb before the shearer is silent,

so he did not open his mouth. Acts 8:32. Amen.
