A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he sends forth justice unto victory.
All Commentaries on Matthew 12:20 Go To Matthew 12
Jerome
AD 420
The one who does not stretch out a hand to a sinner and does not carry a brother’s load breaks the crushed reed. And the one who despises the small spark of faith in children extinguishes the smoking wick. Christ did neither of these. He came for this purpose: to save those who were perishing. .
