Luke 3:4
As it is written ( ως γεγραπτα ). The regular formula for quotation, perfect passive indicative of γραφω.Isaiah the prophet ( Εσαιου του προφητου ). The same phrase in Mr 1:2 (correct text) and Mt 3:3. Mark, as we have seen, adds a quotation from Mal 3:1 and Luke gives verses 4 and 5 of Isa. 40 not in Matthew or Mark (Lu 3:5, 6). See Mt 3:3; Mr 1:3 for discussion of Luke 4:4.
