15 Yeshua knew what they were trying to do, so he left that place. A lot of people followed along after him and he healed them all 16 but warned them not to reveal who he was 17 in order to fulfill what the prophet Isayah had written:

18 [ref]‘See my servant who I chose,

the one I dearly love and who my soul takes pleasure in.

I will place my spirit on him

and he will bring justice to the nations.

19 He won’t be arguing or yelling out,

and no one on the roads will hear his voice.

20 He won’t break off a bruised reed

and certainly won’t extinguish a smoldering wick

before he sends justice forward into victory.

21 The other nations will put their hope in his name and authority.’
