## Matthew 12:16-20 in Context (Verses 13–23 KJV)
 
 [13 ](/kjv/matthew/12/13) Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched *it* forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/matthew/12/14) ¶ Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/matthew/12/15) But when Jesus knew *it*, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
 
 [16 ](/kjv/matthew/12/16) And charged them that they should not make him known:
 
 [17 ](/kjv/matthew/12/17) That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
 
 [18 ](/kjv/matthew/12/18) 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 shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/matthew/12/19) He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/matthew/12/20) A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/matthew/12/21) And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/matthew/12/22) ¶ Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/matthew/12/23) And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
