OET (OET-LV) And having_sent_away the crowds, he_went_up on the mountain by himself to_pray.
And evening having_become, he_was alone there.

OET (OET-RV) He sent them all back to their homes, then climbed up a hill by himself to pray.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:22–36: Jesus walked on the water

In this section, Jesus showed that he has power over nature and sickness. When the disciples were in a boat during a storm, Jesus walked on the surface of the lake, and he calmed the storm. This caused the disciples to believe that Jesus was the Son of God, which was a title that the Jews used for the Christ. When they arrived at the shore, Jesus also healed many sick people.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Walking on Water (NET)

Jesus walks on top of water

Jesus showed his power over nature/creation

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 6:45–56 and John 6:15–21.

14:23a

After He had sent them away,

14:23b

He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray.

14:23a–b

He went up on the mountain: In Greek, this clause is more literally “he went-up to the mountain.” This clause indicates that Jesus went at least part way up a nearby mountain. He did not necessarily go to the very top of the mountain.

Here is another way to translate this clause:

he went up a mountain (GW)

Lake Galilee is in a long valley with the surrounding area being about 500 meters higher than the valley. Jesus likely climbed part way out of the valley to be alone. Use the word in your language for this kind of mountain/hill. For example:

he went up a hill (GNT)

he went…up into the hills (NCV)

by Himself: This phrase means “alone,” “privately,” or “apart.”

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

alone

where he could be alone (CEV)

to pray: The word pray refers to speaking to God. Jesus praised God, thanked him, or asked him something. This term does not refer to ritualistic words or words of magic.

14:23c

When evening came, He was there alone,

When evening came: This is the same Greek phrase as in 14:15a. But it was several hours later than 14:15a. The crowd had eaten, the disciples had gathered the leftovers, Jesus had sent the crowd home, and he had gone into the mountain to pray. So you should use a term in your language that refers to a time in the evening later than the term you used in 14:15a. Use a term that refers to the time when the sky becomes dark. For example:

Night fell (NLT)

Later that evening (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

τὸ ὄρος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀπολύσας τούς ὄχλους ἀνέβη εἰς τό ὄρος κατʼ ἰδίαν προσεύξασθαι ὀψίας Δέ γενομένης μόνος ἦν ἐκεῖ)

Matthew does not clarify what mountain this is or how high up it is. If possible, use a general word for a hill or small mountain without indicating one particular place. Alternate translation: [a high place] or [a small mountain]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀπολύσας τούς ὄχλους ἀνέβη εἰς τό ὄρος κατʼ ἰδίαν προσεύξασθαι ὀψίας Δέ γενομένης μόνος ἦν ἐκεῖ)

Here, the word Now introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὀψίας & γενομένης

evening & ˓having˒_become

Matthew indicated that it was evening earlier in the story (see [14:15](../14/15.md)). Here, he uses the same phrase but implies that it was later on in the evening. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that describes a time later than the time described in [14:15](../14/15.md). Alternate translation: [when it was even later in the evening] or [further into the evening]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

14:23 Jesus often sought solitude in order to pray, particularly in conjunction with important events in his life and ministry (26:36-46; Mark 1:35; Luke 5:16; 6:12; 9:28).
