Context of Matthew 12:17
15Knowing this, Yeshua went away from there. And large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all. 16And He sternly warned them not to make Him known. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, 18“Here is My servant whom I chose, the One I love, in whom My soul takes delight. I will put My Ruach upon Him, and He shall proclaim justice to the nations. 19He will not quarrel or cry out, nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
