And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.
Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.
So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.
Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them.”
Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake;
and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
