There will be a highway for the remnant of His people who remain from Assyria, as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt.
Commentary on Isaiah 11:162 voices
And the Lord will dry up the tongue of the sea of Egypt, and he will lift his hand over the river with the strength of his spirit, and he will strike it in the seven streams, so that people can cross it in sandals. And there will be a highway for the remnant of my people who are left from Assyria, just as there was for Israel on the day when they came up from the land of Egypt.
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic

Thomas Aquinas· Commentary on Isaiah, 1274Patristic
- Isaiah 35:8–10
And there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel it— only those who walk in the Way— and fools will not stray onto it.
Commentary on Isaiah 35:8–102 voices
Third, as to the restoration of the ways, he sets out the holiness of the way: and a path, leading to the temple, shall be there, in the land of Judah; the unclean, the gentile, as before, or mystically, concerning the Church militant or triumphant: …
Thomas Aquinas· Commentary on Isaiah, 1274Patristic

- Isaiah 40:3
A voice of one calling: “Prepare the way for the LORD in the wilderness; make a straight highway for our God in the desert.
Commentary on Isaiah 40:32 voices
God, indeed, never descends from any place, for he says, "I fill heaven and earth." But he seems to descend when the Word of God enters our hearts, as the prophet has said, "Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight." We are to do this, so that, as he himself promised, he may come together with the Father and make his abode with us.
Ambrose of Milan· Exposition of the Christian Faith 5.7.98, 397Patristic
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Isaiah 40:4
Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill made low; the uneven ground will become smooth, and the rugged land a plain.
Commentary on Isaiah 40:42 voices
According to the plain teaching of the Lord, the king's highway is easy and smooth, though it may be felt as hard and rough.
John Cassian· CONFERENCE 24:25, 435Patristic
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Matthew 3:3
This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”
Commentary on Matthew 3:32 voices
(Verse 3.) For this is he who is spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: 'The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.' He was preparing the souls of the believers, in whom the Lord was going to walk, to walk in the purest ways, saying: 'I will dwell in them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people' (Leviticus 26:12).
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
For this is he that was spoken of,.... These are not the words of the Baptist himself, as in Joh 1:23 but of the Evangelist, who cites and applies to John a passage in the Prophet Isaiah, Isa 40:3 and that very pertinently, since that "chapter" is a prophecy of the Messiah. The consolations spoken of in Isa 40:3, were to be in the days of the king Messiah, as a writer of note (y) among the Jews observes.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Matthew 7:13
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
Commentary on Matthew 7:132 voices
Attend to the words, for they have an especial force, many walk in the broad way—few find the narrow way. For the broad way needs no search, and is not found, but presents itself readily; it is the way of all who go astray. Whereas the narrow way neither do all find, nor when they have found, do they straightway walk therein. Many, after they have found the way of truth, caught by the pleasures of the world, desert midway.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 420Patristic
Enter ye in at the strait gate,....
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Matthew 7:14
But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Commentary on Matthew 7:142 voices
Therefore he who eats the Passover ought to have his loins girded, so that he who celebrates the solemnity of resurrection and incorruption may no longer be subject to corruption through any vices, may subdue pleasures, and may restrain the flesh from lust. For he does not know what the solemnity of incorruption is who still lies subject to corruption through incontinence. These things are hard for some, but narrow is the gate that leads to life.
Gregory the Dialogist· Forty Gospel Homilies, Homily 22, 604Patristic
Attend to the words, for they have an especial force, many walk in the broad way—few find the narrow way. For the broad way needs no search, and is not found, but presents itself readily; it is the way of all who go astray. Whereas the narrow way neither do all find, nor when they have found, do they straightway walk therein. Many, after they have found the way of truth, caught by the pleasures of the world, desert midway.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 420Patristic
