Matthew 12:14-20 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

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

15. Jesus knew what the Pharisees were doing, so he left that place. Many people followed him, and he healed all who were sick.

16. But Jesus warned the people not to tell who he was.

17. He did these things to make come true what Isaiah the prophet had said:

18. “Here is my servant whom I have chosen.I love him, and I am pleased with him.I will put my Spirit in him.Then he will tell how I will judge all people fairly.

19. He will not argue or shout.No one will hear his voice in the streets.

20. He will not break a crushed blade of grass.He will not put out even a weak flame.He will continue until he makes fair judgment win the victory.
