D.CHRUPCALA - “All flesh will see the salvation of God” In accordance with previous announcements (Lk1,17), John baptist inaugurates his public activity as the forerunner of the Messiah (Lk 3,3), situated by Luke in a geo-political framework of that epoch. The citation of IS.40,3-5 which serves as scriptural proof explaining the activity of John ; indeed, only the historico-salvific context which is more important than the socio-political one, is capable of shedding light on the meaning of the mission of the Isaianic herald of redemption. The vaticinium of Isaiah 40,3 is used by all evangelists, with minor variants and adaptations: Mt3,3 / Mc 1,3 / Jh 1,23. But Luke alone extends the traditional citation to includethe phrase of IS.40,5: ”And all flesh shall see the salvation of God”. According to the 'Nunc dimittis' ...in the eyes of Simeon is Christ the Lord.
