The Servant of the Lord

15 Jesus was aware of this and withdrew. Large crowds[a] followed him, and he healed them all.(A) 16 He warned them not to make him known,(B) 17 so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

18 Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
my beloved in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will proclaim justice to the nations.(C)
19 He will not argue or shout,
and no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 He will not break a bruised reed,
and he will not put out a smoldering wick,
until he has led justice to victory.[b]
21 The nations will put their hope in his name.[c](D)

God’s Chosen Servant

15 Now Jesus, when he[a] learned of it,[b] withdrew from there, and many[c] followed him, and he healed them all. 16 And he warned them that they should not reveal his identity,[d] 17 in order that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said,

18 “Behold my servant whom I have chosen,
    my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased.
I will put my Spirit on him,
    and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
19 He will not quarrel or cry out,
    nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20 A crushed reed he will not break,
    and a smoldering wick he will not extinguish,
until he brings justice to victory.
21     And in his name the Gentiles[e] will hope.[f]
