Acts 8:32
New King James Version
32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this:

And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
(B)So He opened not His mouth.
1 Peter 2:21-24
New King James Version
21 For (A)to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for [a]us, (B)leaving [b]us an example, that you should follow His steps:
22 “Who(C) committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;
23 (D)who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but (E)committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 (F)who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, (G)that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—(H)by whose [c]stripes you were healed.

Isaiah 53:7-8
New King James Version
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet (A)He opened not His mouth;
(B)He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
8 He was (C)taken from [a]prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For (D)He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
