Matthew 12:15-21
Legacy Standard Bible
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 make Him known, 17 in order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,
18 “(C)Behold, My [b]Servant whom I [c]have chosen;
(D)My Beloved in whom My soul [d]is well-pleased;
(E)I will put My Spirit upon Him,
(F)And He shall proclaim [e]justice to the [f]Gentiles.
19 (G)He will not quarrel, nor cry out;
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
20 (H)A battered reed He will not break off,
And a smoldering wick He will not put out,
Until He [g]leads [h]justice to victory.
21 (I)And in His name the [i]Gentiles will hope.”

English Standard Version
God's Chosen Servant
15 Jesus, aware of this, (A)withdrew from there. And (B)many followed him, and he healed them all 16 and (C)ordered them not to make him known. 17 (D)This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:
18 (E)“Behold, my (F)servant whom I have chosen,
my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased.
(G)I will put my Spirit upon him,
and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
19 He will not quarrel or cry aloud,
nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets;
20 a bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not quench,
until he brings justice to victory;
21 (H)and in his name the Gentiles will hope.”
