Matthew 12:19

Jesus ChristHumility

17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18 “Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20 A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

21 In His name the nations will put their hope.”
