Oecumenius, on Acts 8:32

“And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth.”

“From this point the voluntary act of the Savior is signified in the trial of those being allotted with. For as a sheep led to sacrifice, or a lamb before the one who shaves it (forced and subdued, it does not even have the capacity to moan), so he was silent willingly in his suffering. (see Isa. 53:7-8) [THEODORE OF HERACLEA]”
