12:14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.
12:15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Many followed him, and he healed all their sick,
12:16 warning them not to tell who he was.
12:17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
12:18 "Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
12:19 He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear his voice in the streets.
12:20 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he leads justice to victory.
12:21 In his name the nations will put their hope."
12:22 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see.
12:23 All the people were astonished and said, "Could this be the Son of David?"
