And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
Note 1 at Mk. 1:35: There are many recorded instances where Jesus prayed all or most of the night (Mt. 14:23; Mk. 6:46; Lk. 6:12): in Gethsemane (Mt. 26:36; Mk. 14:32; Lk. 22:45), before daybreak (Mk. 1:35), for Peter (Lk. 22:31-32), and for the Comforter (Jn. 14:16). The longest recorded prayer is after the last supper (Jn. 17). Jesus also prayed over and blessed food (Mt. 14:19; 15:36; Mk. 6:41; 8:6-7; Lk. 9:16; Jn. 6:11). Other instances where Jesus prayed are Luke 5:16; 10:21; 23:34; John 11:41-42; 12:27; and Hebrews 5:7. The Lord's prayer or model prayer is found in Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:1-4. Additional teaching on prayer is given in Matthew 6:5-8; Mark 11:24-26; Luke 11:5-13; and Luke 18:1-14.
