Matthew 12:18 in Context — Matthew 12

16 et il leur recommanda sévèrement de ne pas le faire connaître,

17 afin que s’accomplît ce qui avait été annoncé par Ésaïe, le prophète:

18 Voici mon serviteur que j’ai choisi, Mon bien-aimé en qui mon âme a pris plaisir. Je mettrai mon Esprit sur lui, Et il annoncera la justice aux nations.

19 Il ne contestera point, il ne criera point, Et personne n’entendra sa voix dans les rues.

20 Il ne brisera point le roseau cassé, Et il n’éteindra point le lumignon qui fume, Jusqu’à ce qu’il ait fait triompher la justice.
