God’s Special Servant
12:15 Now when Jesus learned of this, he went away from there. Great 2 crowds 3 followed him, and he healed them all. 12:16 But he sternly warned them not to make him known. 12:17 This fulfilled what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet: 4
12:18 “Here is 5 my servant whom I have chosen,
the one I love, in whom I take great delight. 6
I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
12:19 He will not quarrel or cry out,
nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
12:20 He will not break a bruised reed or extinguish a smoldering wick,
until he brings justice to victory.
