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.
21 

till he has brought justice through to victory.

21     In his name the nations will put their hope.”[b]

 

1/ V 15 Do you think that the large crowd that followed Jesus to a solitary place were partly the congregation who saw the miracle in the temple?

 

 

2/ Do you think the sick who Jesus healed had an expectation that Jesus would heal them? Would you call this expectation Faith? explain

 

 

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?
