| 15 | Jesus was aware of it and withdrew. Many followed, and he cured all who were ill; | The Chosen Servant Mt.12.15-21 (Capernaum) | Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς γνοὺς ἀνεχώρησεν ἐκεῖθεν. καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ πολλοί, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτοὺς πάντας, |
| 16 | and he gave strict injunctions that they were not to make him known. | καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ φανερὸν αὐτὸν ποιήσωσιν· | |
| 17 | This was to fulfil Isaiah's prophecy: | ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος, | |
| 18 | 'Here is my servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, on whom my favour rests; I will put my Spirit upon him, And he will proclaim judgement among the nations. | - Behold, my servant whom I have chosen Mt.12.18-21 | Is.42.1-4 | Ἰδοὺ ὁ παῖς μου ὃν ᾑρέτισα, ὁ ἀγαπητός μου εἰς ὃν εὐδόκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου· θήσω τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπ' αὐτόν, καὶ κρίσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἀπαγγελεῖ. |
| 19 | He will not strive, he will not shout, Nor will his voice be heard in the streets. | οὐκ ἐρίσει οὐδὲ κραυγάσει, οὐδὲ ἀκούσει τις ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ. | |
| 20 | He will not snap off the broken reed, Nor snuff out the smouldering wick, Until he leads justice on to victory. | κάλαμον συντετριμμένον οὐ κατεάξει καὶ λίνον τυφόμενον οὐ σβέσει, ἕως ἂν ἐκβάλῃ εἰς νῖκος τὴν κρίσιν. | |
| 21 | In him the nations shall place their hope.' | καὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ ἔθνη ἐλπιοῦσιν. | |
