But Jesus Himselfwould [often] slip awayto the wildernessand pray.
After He had sentthe crowdsaway,He wentup on the mountainby Himselfto pray;and when it was evening,He was therealone.
After bidding them farewell,He leftfor the mountainto pray.
Nowwhenallthe peoplewere baptized,Jesuswas alsobaptized,and while He was praying,heavenwas opened,
It was at thistimethat He went offto the mountainto pray,and He spent the whole nightin prayerto God.
Someeightdaysafterthesesayings,He took alongPeterand Johnand James,and wentup on the mountainto pray.
And whileHe was praying,the appearanceof His facebecamedifferent,and His clothing[became] white[and] gleaming.
SoJesus,perceivingthat they were intendingto comeand take Him by forceto makeHim king,withdrewagainto the mountainby Himselfalone.
