:[[Mr 1:2]] As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
:[[Mr 1:3]] The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
-
:[[Mal 3:1]] ¶ Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me:
:[[Isa 40:3]] ¶ The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
==Allusion to prophecy==
Without saying he was citing prophecy, he cites something that will bring prophecy to mind, such as this reference to the costume that John wore:
:[[Mr 1:6]] And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
Which reminded them of Elijah:
:[[2Ki 1:8]] And they answered him, [He was] an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It [is] Elijah the Tishbite.
==Clarifies prophecy==
Mark understands that Elijah and Elisha together are one image of the Messiah and that as John is the ante-type or fulfillment of the Elijah type, then Jesus would be the fulfillment of the Elisha type. Elisha was greater than Elijah:
:[[2Ki 2:9]] ¶ And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
=Prophecy fulfilled=
For each reference to prophecy, whether it was direct or subtle, Mark cites examples from John and Jesus to show that it was fulfilled.
[[Mr 1:2]] references [[Mal 3:1]]. And later Malachi identifies the messenger as Elijah ([[Mal 4:5]]). Mark references this with the costume
