12 The one in want of heart* has despised his own fellowman,+ but the man* of broad discernment is one that keeps silent.+

7 He was hard pressed,+ and he was letting himself be afflicted;+ yet he would not open his mouth. He was being brought just like a sheep* to the slaughtering;+ and like a ewe that before her shearers has become mute, he also would not open his mouth.+

63 But Jesus kept silent.+ So the high priest said to him: “By the living God I put you under oath+ to tell us whether you are the Christ+ the Son of God!”

9 and he entered into the governor’s palace again and said to Jesus: “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.+
