Matthew 14:23
Douay-Rheims
And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone.
Jerome
That He withdraws to pray alone, you should refer not to Him who fed five thousand on five loaves, but to Him who on hearing of the death of John withdrew into the desert; not that we would separate the Lord’s person into two parts, but that His actions are divided between the God and the man.
