God’s Chosen Servant (MAT 12:15-21)

[12:15] Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all

[12:16] and ordered them not to make him known.

[12:17] This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:

[12:18] “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

[12:19] He will not quarrel or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets;

[12:20] a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory;

[12:21] and in his name the Gentiles will hope.”
