Matthew 12:20 in Context — Matthew 12
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.
21 Et les nations espéreront en son nom.
22 Alors on lui amena un démoniaque aveugle et muet, et il le guérit, de sorte que le muet parlait et voyait.
