CommentRemigius of AuxerrePublic domainMatthew 12:14–20

And it should be known, that the meaning not only of this passage, but of many others also, is supported by this testimony from the Prophet. The words, “Behold my servant,” may be referred to the place in which the Father had said above, “This is my Son.” [Matt 3:17] The words, “I will put my Spirit upon him,” is referred to the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Lord at His baptism; “He shall declare judgment to the Gentiles,” to that which He says below, “When the Son of Man shall sit in the seat of his Majesty.” [Mat.25:31]

What He adds, “He shall not strive nor cry,” refers to the Lord how He answered but little to the Chief Priests, and to Pilate, but to Herod nothing at all. “He shall not break the bruised reed,” refers to His shunning His persecutors that they might not be made worse; and that “In his name shall the Gentiles hope,” refers to what Himself says below, “Go ye and teach all nations.” [Matt. 28:19]
