Not only did Mark and Peter not understand this initially, but many modern interpreters miss it as well. It is not an obvious doctrine, but Matthew had a greater command of the tools of interpretation than Mark.
==Focus on Isaiah==
Mark left the reference to 'the prophets' open so that both Isaiah and Malachi could be associated. Matthew specifically identifies Isaiah. One of the differences between the greater contexts of the prophecies of Malachi and Isaiah is the introduction of Zion (parched place). Matthew has identified the symbol of water as the word of God.
The wilderness was a parched place except for the Jordan river. John was immersing people in the Word of God as he preached repentance. The Kingdom of Heaven is the teaching of the Word of God. The New Jerusalem is the new Teaching of the word of God which brings peace.
