15 But Jesus, [a]aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and (A)He healed them all, 16 and (B)warned them not to [b]tell who He was. 17 This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled:

18 (C)Behold, My [c]Servant whom I [d]have chosen;
(D)My Beloved in whom My soul [e]delights;
(E)I will put My Spirit upon Him,
(F)And He will proclaim [f]justice to the [g]Gentiles.
19 (G)He will not quarrel, nor cry out;
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
20 (H)A bent reed He will not break off,
And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish,
Until He [h]leads [i]justice to victory.
21 (I)And in His name the [j]Gentiles will hope.”

God’s Chosen Servant

15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill.(A) 16 He warned them not to tell others about him.(B) 17 This was to fulfill(C) what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18 “Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
    the one I love, in whom I delight;(D)
I will put my Spirit on him,(E)
    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](F)
