Luke 3:4 In-Context

2 Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests -- there came a word of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,

3 and he came to all the region round the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins,

4 as it hath been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, `A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths;

5 every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straightness, and the rough become smooth ways;

6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'
