He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; h was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. … Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer?

This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.”
