17 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:
18

Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen;
My Beloved in whom My soul is well-pleased;
I will put My Spirit upon Him,
And He will proclaim justice to the nations.
19

He will not quarrel, nor cry out loudly;
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
20

A battered reed He will not break,
And a smoldering wick He will not extinguish,
Until He leads justice to victory.
21

And in His name the Gentiles (all the nations of the world) will hope [with confidence].”(A)
