Matthew 12:17-19
New English Translation
17 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:[a]
18 “Here is[b] my servant whom I have chosen,
the one I love, in whom I take great delight.[c]
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.
Footnotes
- Matthew 12:17 tn Grk “so that what was said by Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled, saying.” This final clause, however, is part of one sentence in Greek (vv. 15b-17) and is thus not related only to v. 16. The participle λέγοντος (legontos) is redundant and has not been translated.
- Matthew 12:18 tn Grk “Behold my servant.”
- Matthew 12:18 tn Grk “in whom my soul is well pleased.”
