Jesus, God’s Chosen Servant

15 When Jesus became aware of this, he left that place. Many crowds[a] followed him, and he healed all of them, 16 ordering them not to make him known. 17 This was to fulfill what was declared by the prophet Isaiah when he said,

    whom I love, and with whom I am pleased!
I will put my Spirit on him,
    and he will proclaim justice[b] to unbelievers.[c]
