This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.
A voice of one crying, Make ready in the waste land the way of the Lord, make level in the lowland a highway for our God.
See, I am sending my servant, and he will make ready the way before me; and the Lord, whom you are looking for, will suddenly come to his Temple; and the angel of the agreement, in whom you have delight, see, he is coming, says the Lord of armies.
Even as it is said in the book of Isaiah the prophet, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way;
And you, child, will be named the prophet of the Most High: you will go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways;
But what did you go out to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the waste land, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
