'Desert' in the Bible

The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.

For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bands apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
