Central Idea: After rising early in the morning, Jesus went out and away to a wilderness place to pray. Explanations: 1. Mark seems to offer a progression of action by narrating how Jesus "went out and went away". This paints 2 layers to Jesus' movement, giving a thick coat of emphasis on his leaving the home and finding privacy. 2. It seems obvious (to me) that Jesus acted with a purpose . He rose, went out, and went away in order to pray. His prayer, in other words, was not merely a random result of finding himself in a wilderness place. Rather, his prayer was a direct result of his intention to pray in the wilderness. Insights: 1. Mark emphasizes the temporal nature of this verse, both by inserting these details at the beginning of the sentence, and by using rather cumbersome verbiage.. Jesus' actions occur after he woke up, very ("sorely") early, before day . That is quite a mouthful, and it highlights the extreme timeframe of Jesus' waking and praying. 2. I sense some extra significance to the theme of wilderness in the chosen location for Jesus' prayer time. Why did he go pray in the wilderness ? (Why, for that matter, did God take his people and his Son into the wilderness in the first place? And why does he take us into the "wilderness" at times?) How does Jesus' praying in the wilderness lend interpretation to his mission, and how does it influence our prayer (and our experiences of wilderness)? "Wilderness/desolate place" occurs in 1:3,4,12,13,35,45; 6:31,32,35.
