Bible Trivia - 6/12/2008

Question: Which book contains the following prophecy of Jesus' trial: "He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth."?

Answer: Isaiah. (Isaiah 53:7)

Comments: This passage (Isaiah 53:7) was the portion of Scripture which the Ethiopian eunuch was reading when Philip found him. (Acts 8:32) Philip used this passage to begin leading him to Jesus.

He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not open His mouth;
Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth. (Isaiah 53:7, NASB)
