He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
