Matthew 12:15-21, NIV
Map stones: ..prophet Isaiah…servant whom I have chosen; put my Spirit on him and he will proclaim justice to the nations…
Matthew 12:15-21
[15]When Jesus heard about the plot against him, he went away from that place; and large crowds followed him. He healed all those who were ill
[16]and gave them orders not to tell others about him.
[17]He did this so as to make what God had said through the prophet Isaiah come true:
[18]“Here is my servant, whom I have chosen, the one I love, and with whom I am pleased. I will send my Spirit upon him, and he will announce my judgement to the nations.
[19]He will not argue or shout, or make loud speeches in the streets.
[20]He will not break off a bent reed, or put out a flickering lamp. He will persist until he causes justice to triumph,
[21]and in him all peoples will put their hope.”
