Matthew 12:19 is the nineteenth verse in the twelfth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.

In the original Greek according to Westcott-Hort, this verse is:

Οὐκ ἐρίσει, οὐδὲ κραυγάσει· οὐδὲ ἀκούσει τις ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ.

In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:

He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

The New International Version translates the passage as:

He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear his voice in the streets.

Analysis

This verse seems to point to the humble nature of Jesus, in contrast to his adversaries who proudly make a lot of noise about their criticism of Him.[1]
