After the baptism, the wind carried Jesus to the wilderness, where He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and Satan tried Him three times. The mountain northwest of Jericho is called the Mount of Temptation. The monastery built on the slopes of the mountain is known today as Qarantal, a misnomer for the Latin name Mons Quarantina, the ‘mount of the forty’, to commemorate the forty days. In English the mount is known as the Mount of Quarantine.
