'In The Desert' in the Bible

About this time John the Baptist made his appearance, preaching in the Desert of Judaea.

This is the one who was mentioned by the prophet Isaiah when he said,“The voice of one shouting in the wilderness,‘Prepare the road for the Lord,Make His highways straight (level, direct)!’”

As they departed, Jesus said to the people, speaking of John, what did ye go to see in the desert? a reed shaken with the wind?

And his disciples said to him: Whence should we have in the desert as many loaves as would satisfy so great a multitude?

Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
