LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 3:4 The quotation is from Isaiah 40:3. These metaphors of “preparing” the way of the coming Messiah involve both the removal of obstacles (every mountain and hill shall be made low) and the bringing about of moral reform (the crooked shall become straight; compare Luke 1:52; Luke 14:11; Luke 18:14; Acts 2:40).
