Matthew 12: 14 - 21
|
| 14
|
But the Pharisees went out and took counsel against him, how to destroy him.
|
| 15
|
Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all,
|
| 16
|
and ordered them not to make him known.
|
| 17
|
This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:
|
| 18
|
"Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
|
| 19
|
He will not wrangle or cry aloud, nor will any one hear his voice in the streets;
|
| 20
|
he will not break a bruised reed or quench a smoldering wick, till he brings justice to victory;
|
| 21
|
and in his name will the Gentiles hope."
