Luke 3:6

3:6 and all humanity ¹  will see the salvation of God.’” ² 

[3:6]  ¹ tn Grk “all flesh.”

[3:6]  ² sn A quotation from Isa 40:3-5. Though all the synoptic gospels use this citation from Isaiah, only Luke cites the material of vv. 5-6. His goal may well be to get to the declaration of v. 6, where all humanity (i.e., all nations) see God’s salvation (see also Luke 24:47).
