Matthew 12:16-18
New English Translation
Matthew 12:16-18
New English Translation
16 But he sternly warned them not to make him known. 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.
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.”
