Now ^G1161 in those ^G1565 days ^G2250 John ^G2491 the Baptist ^G910 *[fn]came ^G3854, [fn]preaching ^G2784 in the wilderness ^G2048 of Judea ^G2449, saying ^G3004,

“THE VOICE ^G5456 OF ONE [fn]CALLING ^G994 [fn]OUT ^G994 IN THE WILDERNESS ^G2048,

‘PREPARE ^G2090 THE WAY ^G3598 OF THE LORD ^G2962,

MAKE ^G4160 HIS PATHS ^G5147 STRAIGHT ^G2117!’”

Then ^G5119 Jesus ^G2424 was led ^G321 up ^G321 by the Spirit ^G4151 into the wilderness ^G2048 to be tempted ^G3985 by the devil ^G1228.

As these ^G3778 disciples of John were going ^G4198 away, Jesus ^G2424 began ^G757 speaking ^G3004 to the crowds ^G3793 about ^G4012 John ^G2491: “What ^G5101 did you go ^G1831 out ^G1831 into the wilderness ^G2048 to see ^G2300? A reed ^G2563 shaken ^G4531 by the wind ^G417?

Now ^G1161 when Jesus ^G2424 heard ^G191 about John, He withdrew ^G402 from ^G1564 there ^G1564 in a boat ^G4143 to a secluded ^G2048 place ^G5117 by Himself ^G2398; and when the [fn]people ^G3793 heard ^G191 about this, they followed ^G190 Him on foot ^G3979 from the cities ^G4172.

Now when it was evening ^G3798, the disciples ^G3101 came ^G4334 to Him and said ^G3004, “This ^G3588 place ^G5117 is secluded ^G2048 and the hour ^G5610 is already ^G2235 past ^G3928 to eat; send ^G630 the crowds ^G3793 away ^G630, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 they may go ^G565 into the villages ^G2968 and buy ^G59 food ^G1033 for themselves ^G1438.”

THE VOICE ^G5456 OF ONE CALLING ^G994 [fn]OUT ^G994 IN THE WILDERNESS ^G2048,

‘PREPARE ^G2090 THE WAY ^G3598 OF THE LORD ^G2962,

MAKE ^G4160 HIS PATHS ^G5147 STRAIGHT ^G2117!’”

And immediately ^G2117 the Spirit ^G4151 *brought ^G1544 Him out ^G1544 into the wilderness ^G2048.

And in the early ^G4404 morning ^G4404, while ^G1773 it was still ^G3029 dark ^G1773, Jesus got ^G450 up ^G450, left ^G565 the house, and went ^G565 away ^G565 to a secluded ^G2048 place ^G5117, and prayed ^G4336 there ^G2546 for a time.

Now ^G1161 the child ^G3813 grew ^G837 and was becoming ^G2901 strong ^G2901 in spirit ^G4151, and he lived ^G1510 in the deserts ^G2048 until ^G2193 the day ^G2250 of his public ^G323 appearance ^G323 to Israel ^G2474.

“THE VOICE ^G5456 OF ONE CALLING ^G994 [fn]OUT ^G994 IN THE WILDERNESS ^G2048,

‘PREPARE ^G2090 THE WAY ^G3598 OF THE LORD ^G2962,

MAKE ^G4160 HIS PATHS ^G5147 STRAIGHT ^G2117!

Now ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424, full ^G4134 of the Holy ^G40 Spirit ^G4151, returned ^G5290 from the Jordan ^G2446 and was led ^G71 around [fn]by the Spirit ^G4151 in the wilderness ^G2048

Now ^G1161 when day ^G2250 came ^G1096, Jesus left ^G1831 and went ^G4198 to a secluded ^G2048 place ^G5117; and the crowds ^G3793 were searching ^G1934 for ^G1934 Him, and they came ^G2064 to Him and tried to keep ^G2722 Him from ^G2722 leaving ^G4198 G575 them.

When the messengers ^G32 of John ^G2491 had left ^G565, He began ^G757 to speak ^G3004 to the crowds ^G3793 about ^G4012 John ^G2491: “What ^G5101 did you go ^G1831 out ^G1831 into the [fn]wilderness ^G2048 to see ^G2300? A reed ^G2563 shaken ^G4531 by the wind ^G417?

Now ^G1161 the day ^G2250 [fn]was ending ^G2827, and the twelve ^G1427 came ^G4334 up ^G4334 and said ^G3004 to Him, “Dismiss ^G630 the crowd ^G3793, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 they may go ^G4198 into the surrounding ^G2945 villages ^G2968 and countryside ^G68 and find ^G2647 lodging ^G2647 and get ^G2147 [fn]something ^G1979 to ^G1979 eat ^G1979; because ^G3754 here ^G5602, we are in a secluded ^G2048 place ^G5117.”

Therefore ^G3767 Jesus ^G2424 no ^G3765 longer ^G3765 continued to walk ^G4043 publicly ^G3954 among ^G1722 the Jews ^G2453, but went ^G565 away ^G565 from ^G1564 there ^G1564 to the region ^G5561 near ^G1451 the wilderness ^G2048, into a city ^G4172 called ^G3004 Ephraim ^G2187; and there ^G2546 He stayed ^G3306 with the disciples ^G3101.

‘MAY HIS RESIDENCE ^G1886 BE MADE ^G1096 DESOLATE ^G2048,

AND MAY THERE BE NONE ^G3361 LIVING ^G2730 IN IT’;

and,

‘MAY ANOTHER ^G2087 TAKE ^G2983 HIS [fn]OFFICE ^G1984.’

“After forty ^G5062 years ^G2094 had passed ^G4137, an angel ^G32 appeared ^G3708 to him in the wilderness ^G2048 of Mount ^G3735 Sinai ^G4614, in the flame ^G5395 of a burning ^G4442 thorn ^G942 bush ^G942.

“Our fathers ^G3962 had ^G1510 the tabernacle ^G4633 of testimony ^G3142 in the wilderness ^G2048, just ^G2531 as ^G2531 He who spoke ^G2980 to Moses ^G3475 directed ^G1299 him to make ^G4160 it according ^G2596 to the pattern ^G5179 which ^G3739 he had seen ^G3708.

But an angel ^G32 of the Lord ^G2962 spoke ^G2980 to Philip ^G5376, saying ^G3004, “Get ^G450 ready ^G450 and go ^G4198 [fn]south ^G2596 G3314 to the road ^G3598 that descends ^G2597 from Jerusalem ^G2419 to Gaza ^G1048.” ([fn]This ^G3778 is a desert ^G2048 road.)

“REJOICE ^G2165, INFERTILE ^G4723 ONE, YOU WHO DO NOT GIVE ^G5088 BIRTH ^G5088;

BREAK ^G4486 FORTH ^G4486 AND SHOUT ^G994, YOU WHO ARE ^G5605 NOT IN ^G5605 LABOR ^G5605;

FOR THE CHILDREN ^G5043 OF THE DESOLATE ^G2048 ONE ARE MORE ^G4183 NUMEROUS ^G4183

THAN ^G2228 THOSE OF THE ONE WHO HAS ^G2192 A HUSBAND ^G435.”

DO NOT HARDEN ^G4645 YOUR HEARTS ^G2588 AS [fn]WHEN ^G1722 THEY PROVOKED ^G3894 ME,

AS ON THE DAY ^G2250 OF TRIAL ^G3986 IN THE WILDERNESS ^G2048,
