Matthew 12:14-23
New American Standard Bible 1995
14 But the Pharisees went out and [a](A)conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.
15 But Jesus, [b]aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and (B)He healed them all, 16 and (C)warned them not to [c]tell who He was. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet:
18 “(D)Behold, My [d]Servant whom I [e]have chosen;
(E)My Beloved in whom My soul [f]is well-pleased;
(F)I will put My Spirit upon Him,
(G)And He shall proclaim [g]justice to the [h]Gentiles.
19 “(H)He will not quarrel, nor cry out;
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
20 “(I)A battered reed He will not break off,
And a smoldering wick He will not put out,
Until He [i]leads [j]justice to victory.
21 “(J)And in His name the [k]Gentiles will hope.”
The Pharisees Rebuked
22 (K)Then a (L)demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to [l]Jesus, and He healed him, so that the mute man spoke and saw. 23 All the crowds were amazed, and were saying, “This man cannot be the (M)Son of David, can he?”
