  • Bane on Matthew 3 - 12 years ago
    Mt 40.3 "For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."
    Matthew 3:1-4 Is speaking about John the Baptist, and it is calling the prophecy by the reference on Is 40:3
    In the Bible I am reading the verse from the Gospel is identical but Is 40:3 goes like this:"The voice of the one crying: in the desert prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."
    As you can see the notch is before "in the desert" and not after. This little thing makes a total difference in the meaning of the picture one can get of Joh the Baptist, and confuse the careful reader.
    For the record just because of this I made some research, and discovered that text from the Bible I am reading is right.
    I know the people who read the bible their whole life (the same Bible as I do) and this means nothing to them. When I read it for the first time I was confused because I saw the disagreement between the verse from the Gospel and its reference from Isaiah.
    If somebody judges me for this I forgive him.
    GOD BLESS YOU ALL
    P.S. MIKE if you are reading this you can see how I function and what struggle I fight with myself.
