This separation underscores the importance of personal time with God, even amidst ministry demands. He went up on the mountain to pray Persons / Places / Events 1.

In our busy lives, setting aside time for solitude with God is crucial for spiritual growth and renewal. Prioritizing Prayer in Ministry Despite His demanding schedule, Jesus prioritizes prayer. This teaches us that no matter how busy we are, prayer should remain a central part of our lives and ministries. Mountains as Places of Encounter The mountain symbolizes a place of meeting with God. We should seek our own "mountains" or quiet places where we can encounter God more deeply. Bidding Farewell to Distractions Jesus bids farewell to His disciples, indicating the need to sometimes step away from even good things to focus on God. We must learn to say no to distractions to say yes to God.(46-52) And when he had sent them away.--See Notes on Matthew 14:22-33.Verses 46, 47. - St. Mark is careful, like St. Matthew, to tell us that when the even was come he was alone on the land. Both the evangelists desire to call attention to the fact that, when night came on, the disciples were alone in their boat and Jesus alone on the land. It was nightfall; and St. John informs us that "the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew." Then it was that the Lord left his place of prayer on the mountain, and walked upon the sea, that he might succor his disciples now distressed by the storm. It would appear that our Lord had been obliged to use a little pressure to induce his disciples to leave him: "He constrained them (ἠνάγκασε τοὺς μαθητὰς αὑτοῦ) Verse 46 - And when he had sent them away (ἀποταξάμενος) - more literally, had taken leave of them, that is, the multitude - he departed into a mountain (εἰς τὸ ὄρος); literally, into the mountain; that is, the high table-land at the foot of which the multitude had been fed. Towards the north-east of the Sea of Galilee the land rises rapidly from the shore. To pray (προσεύξασθαι). This is a very full word, implying the outpouring of the heart to God. Our Lord did this that he might teach us in our prayers to shun the crowd, and to pray in silence and in secret, with collected mind. There is here, too, a special example for the clergy, namely, this: that when they have preached they should go apart and pray that God would make effectual that which they have delivered; that he would himself give the increase where they have planted and watered, and renew their spiritual strength, that they may return again to their labour refreshed by communion with him.
