Matthew 12:18
Here <2400> [Behold.]
This prophecy is expressly referred to the Messiah by the Targumist, who renders, "Behold my servant the Messiah," etc., {ha avdi mesheecha;} and it was amply fulfilled in the gentle, lowly, condescending and beneficent nature of Christ's miracles and personal ministry, his perseverance in the midst of opposition, without engaging in contentious disputation, and his kind and tender dealing with weak and tempted believers.
my servant ........ I ..... I ........ my <3450 3816> [my servant.]
whom I have chosen ...... in whom <3739 140> [whom I.]
my ......... I love .... I ........ my <3450 27> [my beloved.]
I will put <5087> [I will.]
and he will proclaim <2532 518> [and he.]
Matthew 12:36
every <3956> [every.]
an account .... worthless <692 4487> [idle word.]
[Rhema <\\See definition 4487\\>,] [argos <\\See definition 692\\>,] i.e., [ergo--work/act/deed,] from a, privative, and [ergon <\\See definition 2041\\>,] work, a word that produces no good effect, and is not calculated to produce any. "Discourse," says Dr. Doddridge, "tending to innocent mirth, to exhilarate the spirits, is not idle discourse; as the time spent in necessary recreation is not idle time."
