Matthew 12:15-20

15But Jesus, 1aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and 2He healed them all, 16and 3warned them not to 4tell who He was. 17This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet:18“5Behold, My 6Servant whom I 7have chosen; 8My Beloved in whom My soul 9is well-pleased; 10I will put My Spirit upon Him, 11And He shall proclaim 12justice to the 13Gentiles.19 14He will not quarrel, nor cry out; Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.20 15A battered reed He will not break off, And a smoldering wick He will not put out, Until He 16leads 17justice to victory.
