who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth."
neither was guile found in his mouth: "Guile," dolos, means "a lure, snare; hence craft, deceit, guile" (Thayer 155-1-1388). Nothing evil or deceitful was found in the Lord’s mouth--He was sinless in every way. The total absence of craftiness or trickery in the Lord stood the test of absolute, relentless scrutiny (Matthew 26:60; John 18:38). Perhaps this teaching is a parting warning to slaves who might be tempted to avoid unjust punishment through deception. As the Master’s life was open to all, so must our lives be open and above-board in every situation.
