Commentary on this verse  

By Brian David
Explanation of Matthew 14:23 Erläuterung zu Matthäus 14:23 Explicación de Mateo 14:23 Explication de Matthieu 14:23 Spiegazione di Matteo 14:23 马太福音14:23的解释

This verse is like a rare treasured glimpse into the inner life of Jesus, going up a mountain by himself to pray, presumably over the death of John the Baptist. You can feel his sadness, even in the literal language.

The internal meaning reflects much of the same. By sending the multitudes away, Jesus was creating a separation from the crowd of intellectual concepts they represent. Going up to a mountain means rising up to a spiritual state of perfect love, and praying means revealing His own inmost loves and intentions – thinking about what had to be done for the salvation of humankind.

Evening represents a state of judgment, or the ending of a church, and the fact that He was alone means he was free of evil desires and false thoughts.
