Matthew 12:16-21 - Jesus Is God's Servant

16 and warned them not to tell who He was. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet:

18 Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen;
My Beloved in 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 quarrel, nor cry out;
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
20 A battered reed He will not break off,
And a smoldering wick He will not put out,
Until He leads justice to victory.
21 And in His name the Gentiles will hope.”
