Matthew 12:14-22 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. But the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.

15. When Jesus became aware of this, He withdrew from there. Huge crowds followed Him, and He healed them all.

16. He warned them not to make Him known,

17. so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

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.

19. He will not argue or shout,and no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20. He will not break a bruised reed,and He will not put out a smoldering wick,until He has led justice to victory.

21. The nations will put their hope in His name.

22. Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and unable to speak was brought to Him. He healed him, so that the man could both speak and see.
