¹⁷ So that what was said by Isaiah the prophet might come true, ¹⁸ See my servant, the man of my selection, my loved one in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him, and he will make my decision clear to the Gentiles. ¹⁹ His coming will not be with fighting or loud cries; and his voice will not be lifted up in the streets.
