‏ Matthew 12:18-21

18 “Here is ^{▼▼tn Grk “Behold my servant.”} my servant whom I have chosen,
the one I love, in whom I take great delight. ^{▼▼tn Grk “in whom my soul is well pleased.”}
I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 He will not quarrel or cry out,
nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20 He will not break a bruised reed or extinguish a smoldering wick,
until he brings justice to victory.
21 And in his name the Gentiles ^{▼▼tn Or “the nations” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).} will hope.” ^{▼▼sn Verses 18-21 are a quotation from Isa 42:1-4.}
