Luke 3:1-6 | John the Baptist prepares the way | A Word-for-Word Scripture music song.

This is Part 1 of 4 excerpts from the song Luke 3. Luke 3:1-6 describes the historical setting and beginning of John the Baptist's ministry, portraying him as the prophetic forerunner to Jesus, preparing the way for the Lord by calling people in the wilderness around the Jordan River to a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy of smoothing paths for God's salvation. The passage meticulously dates John's work to the reign of Emperor Tiberius, under Roman and local rulers like Pontius Pilate, highlighting divine intervention amidst worldly power, and uses imagery of straightening roads and filling valleys to signify radical spiritual transformation needed for God's arrival. Lyrics 1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
