'Wilderness' in the Bible

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;

Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.
