This is the one it is written about: Look, I am sending My messenger ahead of You; he will prepare Your way before You.
A voice of one crying out: Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness; make a straight highway for our God in the desert.
“See, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. Then the Lord you seek will suddenly come to His temple, the Messenger of the covenant you desire — see, He is coming,” says the Lord of Hosts.
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Look, I am sending My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way.
And child, you will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare His ways,
What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John, but the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
He said, “I am a voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord — just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
