Matthäus 12:17 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 12:17

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying.
] ( Isaiah 42:1-4 ) not that Christ gave the above charge with this view, that this passage in Isaiah might have its accomplishment: but this is an observation of the evangelist, that what was now done by Christ, by his private departure from the Pharisees, being unwilling to irritate them more; by his preaching to the Idumeans, Tyrians, and Sidonians; by healing their diseases, and shunning all ostentation and popular applause; and prohibiting to tell who and where he was, was a fulfilling of this prophecy; in which the Holy Spirit foreknowing the disposition and actions of Christ, predicted them: which, when considered, must be looked upon as a very large proof of the truth of his being the Messiah. For that this prophecy belongs to the Messiah, is owned by the Jews themselves ^F11.

18 Siehe, mein Knecht, den ich erwählt habe, mein Geliebter, an welchem meine Seele Wohlgefallen gefunden hat; ich werde meinen Geist auf ihn legen, und er wird den Nationen Gericht ankündigen.

19 Er wird nicht streiten noch schreien, noch wird jemand seine Stimme auf den Straßen hören;
