Matthew 27:11-14

"Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, 'Are You the King of the Jews?' Jesus said to him, 'It is as you say.'"

"And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing."

"Then Pilate said to Him, 'Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?'"

"But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly."

(Imagine you were being accused of all these vile, terrible things, and you could speak up and proclaim how they're all lies. Would you be able to resist that temptation here? Would you be able to have the self-control to just sit and accept the accusations--even after being beaten and insulted?)
