"And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And Jesus went up into a mountain,.... In a desert place near Bethsaida, Luk 9:10 ; and there he sat with his disciples; partly for security from the cruelty of
Herod, having just heard of the beheading of John; and partly for privacy, that he might have some conversation alone with his disciples, upon their return from off their journey; as also for the sake of rest and refreshment; and according to the custom of the Jewish doctors, which now prevailed; see Gill on Mat 5:1 , he sat with his disciples, in order to teach and instruct them.
