What does the Bible say about Jesus' silence during his trial?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible highlights Jesus' silence as he faced oppression and affliction, exemplifying His role as the sacrificial Lamb of God (Isaiah 53:7).

In Isaiah 53:7, we observe a profound aspect of Jesus’ character during His trial. He is described as being oppressed and afflicted, yet He opens not His mouth. This silence serves as a powerful testament to His submissive nature and willingness to endure suffering for the benefit of others. It underscores the doctrine of substitutionary atonement, illustrating that He bore the sins of humanity in silence, not for His own transgressions, but in our place. Jesus’ silence was not just passive; it reflected His determination to fulfill the purpose of His suffering: to be the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
