16 He said to these people, ‘You must not tell anyone about me.’ 17 This has made what the prophet Isaiah spoke long ago become true. Isaiah wrote what God said:
18 ‘Here is my servant.
I have chosen him to serve me.
I love him and he makes me very happy.
I will give him the strength of my Spirit.
He will tell all the nations that I will judge them fairly.
19 He will not argue with people. He will not shout at them.
People will not hear his loud voice in the streets.
20 He will not hurt weak people,
like someone who breaks a weak reed.
He will not destroy helpless people,
like someone who puts out a weak flame.
He will do this until there is justice everywhere.
21 All the nations will trust him to save them.’
