<p>4:42 <i>Now when it was day, he departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought him and came to him, and tried to keep him from leaving them</i>- We continually notice the Lord's dislike of melodrama and large crowds. He was used to sustained personal contact with the Father, and the pressure of the crowds would have been unbearable for Him. He loved solitude with God. Many of us can relate to Him in this, and He thereby to us. But He worked with the crowds exactly because He saw their need, He as it were came out of Himself for their sakes and for the sake of God's glory.</p>
