Matthew 12:15-21
Wycliffe Bible
15 And Jesus knew it, and went away from thence; and many followed him, and he healed them all.
16 And he commanded to them, that they should not make him known;
17 that that thing were fulfilled [that that thing should be fulfilled], that was said by Esaias, the prophet, saying,
18 Lo! my child, whom I have chosen, my darling, in whom it hath well pleased to my soul; I shall put my Spirit on him, and he shall tell doom to heathen men.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry, neither any man shall hear his voice in streets.
20 A bruised reed he shall not break, and he shall not quench smoking flax, till he cast out doom to victory;
21 and heathen men shall hope in his name.

New Matthew Bible
15 When Jesus knew that, he departed from there. And crowds of people followed him. And he healed them all, 16 and charged them not to make him known, 17 to fulfil that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, who says: 18 Behold my child, whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul delights. I will put my Spirit on him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles. 19 He will not quarrel; he will not cry out; neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets. 20 A bruised reed he will not break, and a flax that begins to burn he will not quench, till he sends forth judgment unto victory. 21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

15 But when Jesus knew it, he departed thence, and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all,

- Matthew 12:18 By judgment is meant a settled state because Christ was to publish true religion among the Gentiles, and to cast out superstition, which thing wheresoever it is done, the Lord is said to reign and judge there, that is to say, to govern and rule matters.
- Matthew 12:20 He shall pronounce sentence and judgment, maugre the world and Satan, and show himself conqueror over all his enemies.
