Sorry, Q, "prepare for me" is wrong. The path is definitely prepared for Jesus, one might only argue who is doing that.

"Now" in bavarian is "jetz", "jetza", "etza" or even "etz" ("AIDS geht's los!"). The a is pronounced as the u in 'cut'. An e at the end of "etze" would be pronounced like the a in 'cat'. Never heard a Bavarian do so. They are kind of afraid of sounding like a "Schwob", you know.

Cheers
