This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’”

to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:
-
This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”
-
This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
-
In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
-
You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:
-
as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way”—
-
He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

-
Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
-
It is just as Isaiah said previously: “Unless the Lord Almighty had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.”
