“After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,”
Matthew 14:23 (BSB)
Context Reading
21About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children. 22Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds. 23After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone, 24but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. 25During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.
