Context of Matthew 12:17
15But Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and He healed them all, 16and warned them not to tell who He was. This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled: 18“Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen; My Beloved in whom My soul delights; I will put My Spirit upon Him, And He will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. 19He will not quarrel, nor cry out; Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
