And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
All Commentaries on Matthew 14:23 Go To Matthew 14
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Alone to pray. By our Saviour's conduct on this occasion, we are taught to leave occasionally the society of men, and to retire into solitude, as a more proper place to commune with heaven in earnest and fervent prayer. The company of mortals is often a great distraction to the fervent Christian. (Denis the Carthusian)
