Word
of God
Man
does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth from
the mouth of God
Matthew
4:4
The
Gospel According to Luke 5:16
16
But he kept himself apart in the wilderness, and prayed.
Brethren:
Into
a desert place, that he might have rest from the fatigues of
preaching and healing diseases; and being alone, and free from
company, might have an opportunity for private prayer to God the
Father. this is to be understood of Christ, as man: as God, he is
the object of prayer, and petitions are often addressed unto him; and
as mediator, he offers up the prayers of all saints, and presents
them to his Father; which are acceptable to him, through the incense
of his mediation; and as man, he prayed himself: what he now prayed
for, is not known; sometimes he prayed for his disciples, and for all
that should believe; for their conversion, sanctification, union,
perseverance, and glorification; and [perhaps] sometimes for himself,
that the cup might pass from him, and he be saved from death; but
always with submission to the will of his Father.
