20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, Till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles hope. [This verse sets forth the breadth of Christ's conquest over all nations. It reaches beyond our times into a future which is yet to be. But it was partially fulfilled by the presence of Idumæans and citizens of Tyre and Sidon in the multitudes which Jesus healed--unless we say that only Jews from these quarters are meant, which is not likely.]
b 9 And he spake to his disciples, that a little boat should wait on him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him:
10 for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as plagues pressed upon him that they might touch him.
[Literally, they "fell upon him;" such was their eagerness to be healed by touching him.]10 for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as plagues pressed upon him that they might touch him.
11 And unclean spirits, whensoever they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
12 And he charged them much that they should not make him known.
[Because this was not the right time, nor were they the right witnesses to make him known.]12 And he charged them much that they should not make him known.
