Matthew 12:15-21

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Jesus Speaks By His Actions. He Does Not Quarrel Or Shout, Fulfilling Isaiah

¹⁵ But Jesus, having known it, withdrew from there. And large crowds followed Him, and He cured them all. ¹⁶ And He warned them that they should not make Him known, ¹⁷ in order that the thing might be fulfilled having been spoken through Isaiah the prophet saying ¹⁸ “Behold My servant Whom I chose, My Beloved in Whom My soul was^[a] well-pleased: I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He will announce^[b] justice to the Gentiles. ¹⁹ He will not quarrel, nor shout, nor will anyone hear His voice in the wide-roads. ²⁰ He will not break a reed having been bruised, and He will not quench a smoldering wick, until He leads-out^[c] justice^[d] to victory. ²¹ And the Gentiles will put-hope in His name” [Isa 42:1-4].
