'Wilderness' in the Bible
About this time, John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the Judean wilderness,
He was the one the prophet Isaiah was referring to when he said, "He is a voice calling out in the wilderness: "Prepare the way for the Lord! Make his paths straight!'"
After this, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil.
As they were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John. "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
The disciples asked him, "Where in the wilderness are we to get enough bread to feed such a crowd?"
So if they say to you, "Look! He's in the wilderness,' don't go out looking for him. And if they say, "Look! He's in the storeroom,' don't believe it,
