17
This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
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 declare judgment to the Gentiles.
18
“Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry aloud; Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets.
19
He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, And smoking flax shall he not quench, Till he send forth judgment unto victory.
20
A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he has brought justice through to victory.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles hope.
21
In his name the nations will put their hope.”
