He will not quarrel nor cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the main streets.

Isaiah 42:1-4.

What does it mean that “he will not quarrel nor cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the main streets”? When curing people, Jesus does not allow them​—or the demons—​“to make him known.” (Mark 3:12) He does not want people to learn about him through noisy advertising in the streets or through distorted reports that are excitedly passed from mouth to mouth.
