Luke 3:4 in Context — Luke 3

2 et du temps des souverains sacrificateurs Anne et Caïphe, la parole de Dieu fut adressée à Jean, fils de Zacharie, dans le désert.

3 Et il alla dans tout le pays des environs du Jourdain, prêchant le baptême de repentance, pour la rémission des péchés,

4 selon ce qui est écrit dans le livre des paroles d’Ésaïe, le prophète: C’est la voix de celui qui crie dans le désert: Préparez le chemin du Seigneur, Aplanissez ses sentiers.

5 Toute vallée sera comblée, Toute montagne et toute colline seront abaissées; Ce qui est tortueux sera redressé, Et les chemins raboteux seront aplanis.

6 Et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu.
