Matthew 12:14-19 Good News Bible (GNB)

14. Then the Pharisees left and made plans to kill Jesus.

15. When Jesus heard about the plot against him, he went away from that place; and large crowds followed him. He healed all those who were ill

16. and gave them orders not to tell others about him.

17. He did this so as to make what God had said through the prophet Isaiah come true:

18. “Here is my servant, whom I have chosen,the one I love, and with whom I am pleased.I will send my Spirit upon him,and he will announce my judgement to the nations.

19. He will not argue or shout,or make loud speeches in the streets.
