Prophecy regarding the coming Messiah -- fulfilled in Isa al Masih

Isaiah 42   1 Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.   2 He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.   3 A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.   4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.   5 Thus saith God Jehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:   6 I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;   7 to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in dark

Isa al Masih -- Jesus, Son of Mary and Son of God -- baptism

The Baptism of Jesus   13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”   15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.   16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” New International Version, ©2010 (NIV)
