Matthew 12:15-21
World English Bible
15 Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all, 16 and commanded them that they should not make him known, 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen,
my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased.
I will put my Spirit on him.
He will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 He will not strive, nor shout,
neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20 He won’t break a bruised reed.
He won’t quench a smoking flax,
until he leads justice to victory.
21 In his name, the nations will hope.”
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.”
