Matthew 12:17-21

Listen to Matthew 12:17-21
17 1This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:
18 2“Behold, my 3servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. 4I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
19 He will not quarrel or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets;
20 a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory;
21 5and in his name the Gentiles will hope. ”
