7. Why could the prophecy say that Jesus would ‘not cry out or raise his voice in the street’?
7 Why, though, does the prophecy say that Jesus would ‘not cry out or raise his voice, and he would not let his voice be heard in the street’? Because he did not promote himself, as did many in his day. (Matthew 6:5) When curing a leper, he told the healed man: “See that you tell nobody a thing.” (Mark 1:40-44) Rather than seeking publicity and having people reach conclusions on the basis of secondhand reports, Jesus wanted them to discern for themselves on the basis of solid evidence that he was the Christ, Jehovah’s anointed Servant.
