'In the Wilderness' in the Bible

Annas being the high priest and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.

As it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Who of you, having an hundred sheep, and losing one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, till he find it?
