Though He had so much work to do with others, yet He [Jesus] chose sometimes to be alone, to set us an example.
Matthew HenryAs if men did not die fast enough, they are ingenious at finding out ways to destroy one another.
Matthew HenryPrayer is a salve for every sore, a remedy for every malady; and when we are afflicted with thorns in the flesh, we should give ourselves to prayer. If an answer be not given to the first prayer, nor to the second, we are to continue praying. Troubles are sent to teach us to pray; and are continued, to teach us to continue instant in prayer.
Matthew Henry
