3:5Every valley will be filled,16
and every mountain and hill will be brought low,
and the crooked will be made straight,
and the rough ways will be made smooth,
Footnotes
- 16 The figurative language of this verse speaks of the whole creation preparing for the arrival of a major figure, so all obstacles to his approach are removed.
- 17 Grk “all flesh.”
- 18 A quotation from Isa 40:3–5. Though all the synoptic gospels use this citation from Isaiah, only Luke cites the material of vv. 5–6. His goal may well be to get to the declaration of v. 6, where all humanity (i.e., all nations) see God’s salvation (see also Luke 24:47).
