14. But the Pharisees left and made plans to kill Jesus.
15. Jesus knew what the Pharisees were doing, so he left that place. Many people followed him, and he healed all who were sick.
16. But Jesus warned the people not to tell who he was.
17. He did these things to bring about what Isaiah the prophet had said:
18. “Here is my servant whom I have chosen.I love him, and I am pleased with him.I will put my Spirit upon him,and he will tell of my justice to all people.
19. He will not argue or cry out;no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20. He will not break a crushed blade of grassor put out even a weak flameuntil he makes justice win the victory.
21. In him will the non-Jewish people find hope.”
22. Then some people brought to Jesus a man who was blind and could not talk, because he had a demon. Jesus healed the man so that he could talk and see.
