2 while aAnnas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to bJohn the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 aAnd he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance bfor the remission of sins,
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying:
a“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.
a“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough ways smooth;
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough ways smooth;
6 And aall flesh shall see the salvation of God.’ ”
John Preaches to the People
7 Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, a“Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Therefore bear fruits aworthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
