In context
15Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all, 16warning them not to make Him known. 17This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: 18“Here is My Servant, 19He will not quarrel or cry out; 20A bruised reed He will not break, 21In His name the nations will put their hope.”
