12:15 耶穌知道了,就離開那裡,有許多人跟著他。他把其中有病的人都治好了;
12:16 又囑咐他們,不要給他傳名。
12:17 這是要應驗先知以賽亞的話,說:
12:18 看哪!我的僕人,我所揀選、所親愛、心裡所喜悅的,我要將我的靈賜給他;他必將公理傳給外邦。
12:19 他不爭競,不喧嚷;街上也沒有人聽見他的聲音。
12:20 壓傷的蘆葦,他不折斷;將殘的燈火,他不吹滅;等他施行公理,叫公理得勝。
12:21 外邦人都要仰望他的名。
15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill. 16 He warned them not to tell others about him. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
18 “Here
is my servant whom I have chosen,
the one I love, in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 He will not quarrel or cry out;
no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out,
till he has brought justice through to victory.
21 In his name the nations will put
their hope.”

為了描寫耶穌和法利賽人的不同,特別引用了《以賽亞書》42章1-4節,說明主耶穌就是先知以賽亞所預言的「上帝的僕人」!
而主耶穌不是外表的「受膏」,卻是內心的「受膏」,就是領受了聖靈!而這樣的膏抹是勝過先知、君王和祭司!因為這是上帝親自的同在,又有聖靈的印記!而我們這些跟隨主耶穌的人,也是一樣有領受聖靈為記,也是上帝的僕人!
記是如此,我們也必須「將公理傳給外邦。他不爭競,不喧嚷;街上也沒有人聽見他的聲音。壓傷的蘆葦,他不折斷;將殘的燈火,他不吹滅!」
我們也要在禱告中盼望:「等他施行公理,叫公理得勝。外邦人都要仰望他的名。」
所以,基督徒不是高舉主自己,而是要高舉主耶穌,看重上帝的主權和上帝國的完全實現,這是今日教會要戮力實行的!
