Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
But did he keep quite? He prayed thrice to make sure or to escape from the crucifixion.
Matthew 26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].
26:42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done."
26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
ALSO PETER
Matthew 26:35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. BUT PETER WAS THE ONE WHO THRICE DENIED HIM BEFORE THE COCK CREW. All the disciples ran for their lives. Even after Jesus’ crucifixion, Peter took his same old fishing net and went his way to the same old job of fishing.
Also, St. Thomas! who walked with Christ finally said unless I check you personally all your body I cannot believe what you have said and you have come alive.
Doubting and running away is human nature, we should not count that a very big mistake.
