Matthew 12:18-20

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁸ Look! Here’s my servant, whom I chose;
my beloved one, my heart’s delight.
My spirit I will place on him,
and he’ll announce true judgment
to the whole wide world.
¹⁹ He will not argue, nor will he
lift up his voice and shout aloud;
nobody in the streets will hear
his voice. ²⁰ He will not break the damaged
reed, or snuff the guttering lamp,
until his judgment wins the day.
