What does the Bible say about Jesus being a lamb to be inspected?

In John 18 and Matthew 26, Jesus is depicted as the Lamb who undergoes various inspections before his crucifixion. The high priests, including Annas and Caiaphas, could find no fault in him; this reflects the Old Testament law that required a sacrificial lamb to be without blemish. Isaish 53 also emphasizes the innocence and suffering of this servant, wounded for our transgressions. His inspections and ultimate sacrifice confirm that he is indeed the promised Messiah who fulfills the scriptures regarding the atonement for sin.
