Matthew 12:15-21
New American 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 [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.”

Matthew 12:15-21
American Standard Version
15 And Jesus perceiving it withdrew from thence: and many followed him; and he healed them all, 16 and charged them that they should not make him known: 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 [a]Behold, my [b]servant whom I have chosen;
My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased:
I will put my Spirit upon him,
And he shall declare judgment to the [c]Gentiles.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry aloud;
Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break,
And smoking flax shall he not quench,
Till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 And in his name shall the [d]Gentiles hope.
