Matthew 12 v 15 to 21
Matthew 12
New International Version
God’s Chosen Servant
15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill. 16 He warned them not to tell others about him. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
18 “Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
the one I love, in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 He will not quarrel or cry out;
19 He will not quarrel or cry out;
no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed he will not break,
20 A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smouldering wick he will not snuff out,
till he has brought justice through to victory.
21till he has brought justice through to victory.
21 In his name the nations will put their hope.”[b]
3/ v18-21 Where do these verses appear in the bible?
4/ V 18- 21. Is there any doubt who these words were prophesied about.
5/ V 18-21 Ought the Pharisees, if they followed Jesus to the remote place, have recognised this prophesy to refer to Jesus?
6/ v19-21 describe in your own words what you understand them to mean and did Jesus not fulfil any of these statements?
