Exegesis
The prepositional phrase pro prosopou sou {πρὸ προσώπου σου | pro pro-sō-pou sou} expresses spatial and relational priority, “before your face,” suggesting both precedence and personal nearness to the one addressed.
In context — Mark 1:2
Just as it has been written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I am sending My messenger before your face, who will prepare your way.”
