Luke 3:4, 6
Chapter 3
4
t was exactly as written in the book of the prophet Isaiah:
Listen to this voice
crying out in the desert:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his path straight!
6
and every human
will see the salvation of God!
and every human
will see the salvation of God!
Commentaries
John the Baptist – Imprisonment of John the Baptist.
Luke presents John as part of the lineage of ancient prophets. God gives his people one last chance for repentance; the era of the Messiah is approaching, and the messianic mission can’t be embraced without the right inner attitude, a “smooth” path to accept God’s final envoy.
