Today, read Matthew 3 and 4.
In ancient times roads were repaired, smoothed and straightened before a king came, so in this passage John was preparing a spiritual road for the Messiah before His arrival. The quotation is from the book of Isaiah where the prophet announced the need to prepare a highway for the return of the Jewish exiles from captivity in Babylon to their homeland Israel.
