Good News Translation GNT
New International Version NIV
17 He did this so as to make come true what God had said through the prophet Isaiah:
17
This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
18 "Here is my servant, whom I have chosen, the one I love, and with whom I am pleased. I will send my Spirit upon him, and he will announce my judgment to the nations.
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 will not argue or shout, or make loud speeches in the streets.
19
He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 He will not break off a bent reed, nor put out a flickering lamp. He will persist until he causes justice to triumph,
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 on him all peoples will put their hope."
21
In his name the nations will put their hope.”
