Why is Jesus' silence during His trial significant?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' silence symbolizes His composure and fulfillment of prophecy as He willingly suffered for our sins.

Throughout His trial, Jesus chose not to defend Himself against false accusations, demonstrating profound strength and resolve. In Mark 14:61-62, despite the many false witnesses, He remained silent, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 53:7. His silence was not an admission of guilt; rather, it was a display of His purpose to accept the suffering and wrath that we deserved. This exemplifies His role as our substitute and how He was led as a lamb to the slaughter without opening His mouth.
