# General Information:
Matthew quotes the prophet Isaiah to show that John the Baptist was God's appointed messenger to prepare for Jesus's ministry.
# For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "For Isaiah the prophet was speaking of John the Baptist when he said" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
"For John is the one Isaiah the prophet spoke about when he said"
# The voice of one calling out in the wilderness
This can be expressed as a sentence. Alternate translation: "The voice of one calling out in the wilderness is heard" or "They hear the sound of someone calling out in the wilderness"
"The voice of one calling out in the wilderness is heard" or "They hear the sound of someone calling out in the wilderness"
# Make ready the way of the Lord ... make his paths straight
These two phrases mean the same thing. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
# Make ready the way of the Lord
"Get the road ready for the Lord." Doing this represents being prepared to hear the Lord's message when he comes. People do this by repenting of their sins. Alternate translation: "Prepare to hear the Lord's message when he comes" or "Repent and be ready for the Lord to come" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
# Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight
These two phrases are similar in meaning, but the second is more specific. They teach people to prepare their hearts to hear the Lord's message when he comes. Alternate translation: "Make the road ready for the Lord, prepare for him to come."
