17 This was to fulfill(A) what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18 “Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
    the one I love, in whom I delight;(B)
I will put my Spirit on him,(C)
    and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 He will not quarrel or cry out;
    no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed he will not break,
    and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out,
till he has brought justice through to victory.
21     In his name the nations will put their hope.”[a](D)

  1. Matthew 12:21 Isaiah 42:1-4

17 Esto fue para que se cumpliera lo dicho por el profeta Isaías:

18 «Este es mi siervo, a quien he escogido,
    mi amado, en quien me deleito;
sobre él pondré mi Espíritu
    y proclamará justicia a las naciones.
19 No disputará ni gritará;
    nadie oirá su voz en las calles.
20 No acabará de romper la caña quebrada
    ni apagará la mecha que apenas arde,
hasta que haga triunfar la justicia.
21     Y en su nombre pondrán las naciones su esperanza».[a]

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
