But I, as a deaf [man], heard not, etc.] He acted the part of a deaf man, and made as if he did not hear the mischievous things his enemies spoke; as Saul, when the sons of Belial spoke against him and despised him, (<091027>1 Samuel 10:27); and as our Lord when his enemies accused him, (<402712>Matthew 27:12-14); and [I was] as a dumb man, [that] openeth not his mouth; made no reply to what they said, and did not render railing for railing; in which Christ was the antitype of him, (<235307>Isaiah 53:7 <600223>1 Peter 2:23 3:9).
