This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

That it might be fulfilled (hina plērōthēi). The final use of hina and the sub-final just before (Mat 12:16). 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.
