Luke 3:2-6 ▼

2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came upon John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance unto forgiveness of sins,

4 as it has been written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight His paths.

5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low; and the crooked will become straight, and the rough ways into smooth.

6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.”
