16. And strictly charged them and sharply warned them not to make Him publicly known.

17. This was in fulfillment of what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah,

18. Behold, My Servant Whom I have chosen, My Beloved in and with Whom My soul is well pleased and has found its delight. I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He shall proclaim and show forth justice to the nations.

19. He will not strive or wrangle or cry out loudly; nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets;

20. A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering (dimly burning) wick He will not quench, till He brings justice and a just cause to victory.

21. And in and on His name will the Gentiles (the peoples outside of Israel) set their hopes. [Isa. 42:1-4.]
