17. This was to give full meaning to what Isaiah the prophet said when he spoke for God:
18. “Here is my servant, the one I have chosen. He is the one I love, and I am very pleased with him. I will fill him with my Spirit, and he will bring justice to the nations.
19. He will not argue or shout; no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20. He will not break off even a bent stem of grass. He will not put out even the weakest flame. He will not give up until he has made justice victorious.
21. All people will hope in him.” Isaiah 42:1-4
22. Then some people brought a man to Jesus. This man was blind and could not talk, because he had a demon inside him. Jesus healed the man, and he could talk and see.
23. All the people were amazed at what Jesus did. They said, “Maybe he is the promised Son of David!”
24. When the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man uses the power of Satan to force demons out of people. Satan is the ruler of demons.”
