'In the Wilderness' in the Bible

And in those days cometh John the Baptist, proclaiming in the wilderness of Judea,

for this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, 'A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths.'

'If therefore they may say to you, Lo, in the wilderness he is, ye may not go forth; lo, in the inner chambers, ye may not believe;

A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,' --

John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins,

and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.

Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests -- there came a word of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,

as it hath been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, 'A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths;

'What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one out of them, doth not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go on after the lost one, till he may find it?

He said, 'I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.'

'And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up,

our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.'

your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;

and forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai a messenger of the Lord, in a flame of fire of a bush,

this one did bring them forth, having done wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years;

'This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the messenger who is speaking to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers who did receive the living oracles to give to us;

and God did turn, and did give them up to do service to the host of the heaven, according as it hath been written in the scroll of the prophets: Slain beasts and sacrifices did ye offer to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

'The tabernacle of the testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He did direct, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen;

and about a period of forty years He did suffer their manners in the wilderness,

but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,

ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,

but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
