Why Did Jesus Go Apart To Pray Alone?

Mat 14:23 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.



Why did Jesus go apart ro pray? We can pray everywhere right?

Why did hw spend a lot of his time apart alone?

In fact why did most great men of the Bible spend most of their time alone in prayer?

I'm no bible scholar by a long shot...but I always thought he was alone by default...no one else would stay awake and pray with him...

everyone bailed...

at least thats what I always thought

I think you need focused prayer and many people in the same place each praying their own prayer is distracting...besides; I know when I pray I pour my heart out to God: thoughts, feelings, and specific requests and I don't want others hearing all my business...believe it or not!

Blessings, Rhoni

Jesus in his humanity needed time alone in quiet to hear His Father's voice.
We all need to spend some quiet time alone with God.

He probably ran the first 4200 of mans existance over again in his mind on earth and thought.

Could it be his disciples were too busy debating who would have the chief seats in the Kingdom?

How else was he going to pray alone if not by going apart?

His Humanity was praying to His Divinity.
