God's Chosen Servant

Matthew 12

15 But being aware of this, Jesus went away from there. And many people 1 joined and accompanied Him, and He cured all of them, 16 And strictly charged them and sharply warned them not to make Him 2 publicly known. 17 This was in fulfillment of what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah,

18 Behold, My Servant Whom I have chosen, My Beloved in and with Whom My soul is well pleased and 3 has found its delight. I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He shall proclaim and 3 show forth justice to the nations. 19 He will not strive or wrangle or cry out loudly; nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets; 20 A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering (dimly burning) wick He will not quench, till He brings 5 justice and a just cause to victory. 21 And in and on His name will the Gentiles (the 6 peoples outside of Israel) set their hopes.
