Jerome, on Matt 14:22

“And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people.”

“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.”
