“And many followed him, and he healed them all and ordered them not to make him known. This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: ‘Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles’” (Matt. 12:18-21).
“Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. He will not grow faint or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law” (Isa. 42:1-4).

"Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.

“Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me” (Matt. 27:9-10).
“Then
I said to them, ‘If it seems good to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep
them.’ And they weighed out as my wages thirty pieces of silver. Then the LORD
said to me, ‘Throw it to the potter’—the lordly price at which I was priced by
them. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of
the LORD, to the potter” (Zech. 11:12-13).
