15 But when Jesus knew it,
he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and
he healed them all;
16 And charged them that
they should not make him known:
17 That it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by Esaias 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 shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
19 He shall not strive,
nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed shall
he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth
judgment unto victory.
21 And in his name shall
the Gentiles trust. |
7 But Jesus withdrew himself
with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed
him, and from Judaea,
8 And from Jerusalem, and
from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a
great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto
him.
9 And he spake to his disciples,
that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they
should throng him.
10 For he had healed many;
insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
11 And unclean spirits,
when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the
Son of God.
12 And he straitly charged
them that they should not make him known. |

Issues |
-
Jesus knowledge of the conspiracy (Mt
12:15)
-
Perceiving (gnous). Second aorist
active participle of ginôskô. Jesus read their very thoughts. They were now
plain to any one who saw their angry countenances. Robertson's Word
Pictures
-
Withdrawing from "thence" to "the sea"
(Mt 12:1 & Mk 3:7)
-
Some (ie Clarke) place the healing of
the man with a withered hand in the synagogue on the Sabbath (Event 058) and
the conspiracy against Jesus (Event 059) at an unknown location other than
Capernaum because this event says Jesus went to the sea, and Capernaum is
already at the sea. Others (ie People's) place the event at Capernaum,
the reference being only leaving the synagogue area of Capernaum and going to
the seashore area.
-
It is the part of prudence and
Christian charity not to provoke, if possible, the blind and the hardened; and
to take from them the occasion of sin. Adam Clarke Commentary

locations (Mk 3:7-8)

The passage quoted is Isa 42:1-4 "a very
free reproduction of the Hebrew with occasional side glances at the
Septuagint" (Bruce), possibly from an Aramaic collection of Testimonia (McNeile).
Matthew applies the prophecy about Cyrus to Christ. Robertson's Word
