Matthew 12:14-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

14. But the Pharisees went out and conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.

15. But Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and He healed them all,

16. and warned them not to tell who He was.

17. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet:

18. "Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen; My Beloved in whom My soul is well-pleased; I will put My Spirit upon Him, And He shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

19. "He will not quarrel, nor cry out; Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

20. "A battered reed He will not break off, And a smoldering wick He will not put out, Until He leads justice to victory.
