(A)yet he opened not his mouth;
(B)like a (C)lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, (D)who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
1 Peter 2:21-24

21 For (A)to this you have been called, (B)because Christ also suffered for you, (C)leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 (D)He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 (E)When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, (F)but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 24 (G)He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we (H)might die to sin and (I)live to righteousness. (J)By his wounds you have been healed.
