³ A voice of one crying out:

¹⁷ And he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to their children,^(A) and the disobedient to the understanding of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.’^(B)

²³ He said, ‘I am a voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord^[a](A) – just as Isaiah^(B) the prophet said.’
