And he came into all (A)the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance [a]for the forgiveness of sins; as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:

(B)The voice of one calling [b]out in the wilderness,
Prepare the way of the Lord,
Make His paths straight!
(C)Every ravine will be filled,
And every mountain and hill will be lowered;
The crooked will become straight,
And the rough roads smooth;
(D)And all [c]flesh will (E)see the salvation of God!’”
