Of him it was prophesied: “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. ” ​ — Isaiah 53: 7.
Tema kohta oli ennustatud: „Teda piinati ja ta alistus ega avanud suud nagu tall, keda viiakse tappa, nagu lammas, kes oma niitjate ees on vait, nõnda ei avanud ta oma suud! ”.
