Matthew 12:15-21 - God's Chosen Servant

¹⁵ When Jesus perceived what they were doing He withdrew from that place. Many people followed Him and He healed all of them. ¹⁶ Then He urged them not to reveal His [true] identity, ¹⁷ so what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled when he said,

¹⁸ [Isa. 13:1ff] "Look, see my [i.e., God's] servant whom I have chosen; my dear One [i.e., Jesus] with whom my soul is very pleased: I will put my Holy Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim judgment to the [unconverted] Gentiles. ¹⁹ He will not be contentious nor shout out [loudly]. Neither will anyone hear His voice [raised] in the streets. ²⁰ He will not [even] break a wilted stalk or put out a smoldering [lamp] wick until He exercises judgment [upon mankind through the Gospel] in order to bring about victory [i.e., in people's lives]. ²¹ So, in His name the [unconverted] Gentiles will have hope."
