Fulfillment of Isaiah's Prophecy: Isaiah 42:1-4; Matthew 12:14-21

According to Matthew, the coming of Jesus brought justice to the Gentiles (justified the Gentiles) through trust in His name, which was a fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy:

Isaiah 42:1-4
1] “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. [2] He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street. [3] A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth. [4] He will not fail nor be discouraged, Till He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”


‭Matthew 12:14-21
[14] Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him. [15] But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all. [16] Yet He warned them not to make Him known, [17] that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah 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 will declare justice to the Gentiles. [19] He will not quarrel nor cry out, Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets. [20] A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench, Till He sends forth justice to victory; [21] And in His name Gentiles will trust.”
