18Behold, my seruant whom I haue chosen, my beloued in whom my soule is well pleased: I will put my spirit vpon him, and he shall shew iudgement to the Gentiles. 19He shall not striue, nor cry, neither shall any man heare his voice in the streets. 20A bruised reed shal he not breake, and smoking flaxe shall he not quench, till he send forth iudgment vnto victory. 21And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. 22¶ Then was brought vnto him one possessed with a deuill, blinde, and dumbe: and hee healed him, insomuch that the blinde and dumbe both spake and saw.
