3 A voice cries:[a]
“In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord;
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Isaiah 40:3
John the Baptist Prepares the Way
3 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”[a] 3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said,
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare[b] the way of the Lord;
make his paths straight.’”
Matthew 3:1-3
