Luke 3:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible

4 The prophet Isaiah wrote this message from God in his book:

‘Somebody's voice is shouting in the wilderness,
“The Lord will come soon, so prepare a way for him to follow.
Make the paths straight for him.

5 Fill in every valley and make every mountain and hill flat.

Take away every bend so that the road is straight.
Take away all the rocks so that the road is flat.

6 Then everyone will see how God can save them.” ’[a]

Footnotes

  1. 3:6 See Isaiah 40:3-5. Isaiah was using a picture to show people what would happen when the Lord was ready to come into the world. At that time, people mended the roads before a ruler arrived. Isaiah showed that someone would prepare the way for the Lord to come. John the Baptist was that person.
