Matthieu 12:17 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 12:17

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying.
] ( Isaiah 42:1-4 ) not that Christ gave the above charge with this view, that this passage in Isaiah might have its accomplishment: but this is an observation of the evangelist, that what was now done by Christ, by his private departure from the Pharisees, being unwilling to irritate them more; by his preaching to the Idumeans, Tyrians, and Sidonians; by healing their diseases, and shunning all ostentation and popular applause; and prohibiting to tell who and where he was, was a fulfilling of this prophecy; in which the Holy Spirit foreknowing the disposition and actions of Christ, predicted them: which, when considered, must be looked upon as a very large proof of the truth of his being the Messiah. For that this prophecy belongs to the Messiah, is owned by the Jews themselves ^F11.

Matthieu 12:17 In-Context

15 Mais Jésus, l'ayant su, s'éloigna de ce lieu. Une grande foule le suivit. Il guérit tous les malades,

16 et il leur recommanda sévèrement de ne pas le faire connaître,

17 afin que s'accomplît ce qui avait été annoncé par Esaïe, le prophète:

18 Voici mon serviteur que j'ai choisi, Mon bien-aimé en qui mon âme a pris plaisir. Je mettrai mon Esprit sur lui, Et il annoncera la justice aux nations.

19 Il ne contestera point, il ne criera point, Et personne n'entendra sa voix dans les rues.
