Commentary on Matthew 12:17

Theological / Devotional

Spoken by Esaias. This seems to be a free translation, or paraphrase, of Isa. 42:1—4, although it might possibly be a quotation from a Greek version that has since been lost. The first three verses of the quotation follow fairly closely the Hebrew of Isa. 42:1-3, and Matt. 12:21 follows almost exactly the LXX of the final clause of Isa. 42:4, omitting the first two clauses of the verse. See on Isa. 42:1-4.
