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." |
