The Beloved Son of God, Jesus Christ:
*****
This is one of the most amazing verses in the Bible. Notice in verse 2 is Isaiah and verse 18 in Matthew. Focus on how Jesus went about His lifetime, as He was a quite person, who did not make a show of Himself, with a loud voice, as to call attention to Himself. What a contrast with regards to many preachers, pastors and religious leaders of our modern day!!!
*****
Isaiah 42: [1] Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. [2] He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. [3] A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. [4] He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
Matthew 12: [14] Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. [15] But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; [16] And charged them that they should not make him known: [17] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, [18] Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles. [19] He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. [20] A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. [21] And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

- [17] And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
