Luke 3:3-5

Complete Jewish Bible

³He went all through the Yarden region proclaiming an immersion involving turning to God from sin in order to be forgiven. ⁴It was just as had been written in the book of the sayings of the prophet Yesha‘yahu,

“The voice of someone crying out:
‘In the desert prepare the way for Adonai!
Make straight paths for him!
⁵Every valley must be filled in,
every mountain and hill leveled off;
the winding roads must be straightened
and the rough ways made smooth.
