Matthew 12:21

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.”

A House Divided Cannot Stand

22 ^aThen one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the¹ blind and mute man both spoke and saw.

23 And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the ^aSon of David?”

Matthew 12:21

And in his name shall the Gentiles trust - , they shall hope. Jesus Christ is the sole hope and trust of mankind; to trust and hope in his name, Jesus, is to expect salvation and all things necessary from him alone, to despise, comparatively, all earthly promises, to esteem, love, and desire heavenly things only, and to bear with patience and tranquillity all the losses and evils of this life, upon the prospect and hope of that felicity which he has purchased for us.
