Luke 3:3-6
Lexham English Bible

3 And he went into all the surrounding region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, 4 as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah,

“The voice of one crying out in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
    make his paths straight!
5 Every valley will be filled,
    and every mountain and hill will be leveled,
and the crooked will become straight,
    and the rough road will become[a] smooth,
6 and all flesh will see the salvation of God.’”[b]
