👉 The word "Speechless" comes from Hebrew, literally meaning "utterance of no voice." It refers to a state in which one is unable to speak or make a sound with their lips due to something causing them to be silent.
In the context of the Bible, it signifies that Jesus was not able to speak due to the circumstances surrounding him. He did not have any voice to communicate with others and was only heard through the spoken word. This phrase also carries deeper meaning in Old Testament times, where deafness or lack of speech often symbolized a spiritual condition.
For example, John 17:10 states, "I tell you, he who is told will hear; but that which is not told shall not hear." This statement refers to the fact that those who have been given hearing (speech) cannot understand what has been spoken to them, hence they cannot hear from it.
