The Preaching of John the Baptist

(Matthew 3.1-12; Luke 3.1-18; John 1.19-28)

This is the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.[a] (A) It began just as God had said in the book written by Isaiah the prophet,

“I am sending my messenger
to get the way ready
    for you.
(B) In the desert
    someone is shouting,
‘Get the road ready
    for the Lord!
Make a straight path
    for him.’ ”
