Matthew 12:15-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵He knew about this, so he left that place.

Jesus Is God’s Servant

Many people followed him, and he cured all of them. ¹⁶He also ordered them not to tell people who he was. ¹⁷So what the prophet Isaiah had said came true:

¹⁸“Here is my servant
whom I have chosen,
whom I love,
and in whom I delight.
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will announce justice to the nations.
¹⁹He will not quarrel or shout,
and no one will hear his voice in the streets.
²⁰He will not break off a damaged cattail.
He will not even put out a smoking wick
until he has made justice victorious.
²¹The nations will have hope because of him.”
