the footsteps of Jesus page 2 by ric gustafson
Jesus walked five miles west to a flat desert. He would of walked the north side of Jericho and near the Wadi Qelt. To the north of Jericho are Judean wilderness mountains. Mount Qurantal is known as the Mount of Temptation. The wilderness of Judea is dry and arid. This is where Jesus spent the next forty days and nights.
There is a cave half way up Mount Qurantal. It is said Jesus slept here during the forty days. This cave has become the Monastery of the Temptation. The cave was an anchor for Jesus. Jesus walked, he prayed and he was tempted.
