    Mark opens with Malachi's promise of a messenger sent ahead to prepare the way, joined to Isaiah's voice in the next verse.

    • Attribution to Isaiah: Mark introduces the combined quotation as written in Isaiah the prophet. Most readers take this as naming the better known of two joined sources, a common practice; the Malachi wording is not in doubt.
