61  But he held his peace, and ^aanswered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

  3  And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he ^aanswered nothing.

  8  And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a ^alamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

  19  But I was like a ^alamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

  7  He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he ^aopened not his mouth; he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb so he opened not his mouth.

  4  When Joseph went to Carthage to deliver himself up to the pretended requirements of the law, two or three days previous to his assassination, he said: "I am going like a ^alamb to the slaughter; but I am calm as a summer's morning; I have a conscience void of offense towards God, and towards all men. I shall die innocent, and it shall yet be said of me—he was murdered in cold blood."—The same morning, after Hyrum had made ready to go—shall it be said to the slaughter? yes, for so it was—he read the following paragraph, near the close of the twelfth chapter of Ether, in the Book of Mormon, and turned down the leaf upon it:

  63  But Jesus held his ^bpeace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

  6  And after all this, after working many mighty miracles among the children of men, he shall be led, yea, even ^aas Isaiah said, as a sheep before the shearer is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
