Matthew12:19

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

These words declare the Meekness, and Gentleness, and modesty of our Blessed Saviour: His Meekness, that he should not do his work in any Passion, or Roughness, nor carry on his Kingdom with any Strife or Violence: Therefore when the Pharisees took Councel against him, he made no opposition, but Peaceably withdrew, until the time came when he was to be delivered, and then, he as meekly yielded up himself, rebuking Peter for but drawing a Sword for him, and healing his Ear which he had wounded. His not Crying, nor lifting up his Voyce, or suffering his Voyce to be heard in the Streets, might either signifie his Meekness, not Crying out to stir up any Sedition. Or not setting a Trumpet to his Mouth, when he had wrought a Miracle, that People might take notice of it, instead of it he Charged the Persons healed, not to publish it.
