He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
All Commentaries on Matthew 12:19 Go To Matthew 12
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
He shall not contend. These words do not occur in the prophet, but are added by St. Matthew to express more fully the sense, because he offered himself up to the will of his heavenly Father, and delivered himself into the hands of those who persecuted him. (St. Aquinas) Nor cry out; because, like a lamb, in the hands of the shearer, he opened not his mouth.
