SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:17
para que se cumpliese lo que estaba dicho por el profeta Isaías, que dijo:
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying .] ( Isaiah 42:1-4) not that Christ gave the above charge with this view, that this passage in Isaiah might have its accomplishment: but this is an observation of the evangelist, that what was now done by Christ, by his private departure from the Pharisees, being unwilling to irritate them more; by his preaching to the Idumeans, Tyrians, and Sidonians; by healing their diseases, and shunning all ostentation and popular applause; and prohibiting to tell who and where he was, was a fulfilling of this prophecy; in which the Holy Spirit foreknowing the disposition and actions of Christ, predicted them: which, when considered, must be looked upon as a very large proof of the truth of his being the Messiah. For that this prophecy belongs to the Messiah, is owned by the Jews themselves f735 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-21 - The Pharisees took counsel to find some accusation, that Jesus might be condemned to death. Aware of their design, as his time was not come, he retired from that place. Face does not more exactly answer to face i water, than the character of Christ drawn by the prophet, to his tempe and conduct as described by the evangelists. Let us with cheerfu confidence commit our souls to so kind and faithful a Friend. Far from breaking, he will strengthen the bruised reed; far from quenching the smoking flax, or wick nearly out, he will rather blow it up into flame. Let us lay aside contentious and angry debates; let us receiv one another as Christ receives us. And while encouraged by the graciou kindness of our Lord, we should pray that his Spirit may rest upon us and make us able to copy his example.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
12:17 {That it might be fulfilled} (hina plerwqei). The final use of hina and the sub-final just before (verse #16). The passage quoted is #Isa 42:1-4 "a very free reproduction of the Hebrew with occasional side glances at the Septuagint" (Bruce), possibly from an Aramaic collection of _Testimonia_ (McNeile). Matthew applies the prophecy about Cyrus to Christ.
