The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 40:3 Go To Isaiah 40
Caesarius of Arles
AD 542
“I am the voice of one that cries out in the desert.” This means, I am not the Word that was with God from the beginning and that was God, but I am rather a voice; in other words, I am a minister of the Word, in order that through me he may reach the hearing and senses of [people]. For this reason the blessed Baptist exclaimed with equal humility, “He must increase, while I must decrease.”
