Matthew 12:20

God's Chosen Servant

¹⁹ His coming will not be with fighting or loud cries; and his voice will not be lifted up in the streets. ²⁰ The crushed stem will not be broken by him; and the feebly burning light will he not put out, till he has made righteousness overcome all. ²¹ And in his name will the Gentiles put their hope.
