16 E ele lhes ordenava que não o tornassem conhecido;

17 Para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo profeta Isaías:

18 Eis aqui meu servo a quem escolhi, meu amado em quem minha alma se agrada; sobre ele porei o meu Espírito, e ele anunciará justiça às nações.

19 Ele não fará brigas, nem gritará; ninguém ouvirá pelas ruas a sua voz.

20 A cana rachada ele não quebrará, o pavio que fumega ele não apagará, até que conduza a justiça à vitória.
