41:27. The first shall say to Sion: Behold they are here, and to Jerusalem I will give an evangelist.
41:28. And I saw, and there was no one even among them to consult, or who, when I asked, could answer a word.
41:29. Behold they are all in the wrong, and their works are vain: their idols are wind and vanity.
Isaias Chapter 42
The office of Christ. The preaching of the gospel to the Gentiles. The blindness and reprobation of the Jews.
42:1. Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
My servant. . .Christ, who according to his humanity, is the servant of
God.
42:2. He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad.
42:3. The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench, he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
42:4. He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth, and the islands shall wait for his law.
