In the Bible, there are several instances where Jesus was alone or sought solitude. These moments of solitude or being alone were often recorded in the Gospels, i just wonder how these many instances were recorded.

Here are some examples of these instances in the Bible:

1. Mark 1:35:
- "And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed."
- This verse from the Gospel of Mark highlights Jesus seeking solitude in the early morning to pray.

2. Luke 5:16:
- "And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed."
- In this passage from the Gospel of Luke, Jesus is depicted as withdrawing to the wilderness to pray, emphasizing his need for solitude and communion with God.

3. Matthew 14:23:
- "And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone."
- This verse from the Gospel of Matthew illustrates Jesus sending the crowds away and retreating to a mountain to pray alone.

4. Matthew 4:1-11 Jesus was tempted alone
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b]”
Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”

Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]”

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”

Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

These instances in the Gospels portray Jesus intentionally seeking solitude, often for prayer, reflection, rest, etc.

Since there was no one with Jesus, how were these incidences vividly portrayed as if there was a recorder around with Jesus?

Possible Postulations
The Gospel writers, Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John, recorded the moments when Jesus was alone through various means, even though no one else was physically present with Jesus during these private moments.

Here's how they could have captured and conveyed these instances:

1. Through Jesus' Later Communication:
- Jesus may have later shared these experiences with his disciples, and they could have recounted these moments based on his descriptions. The disciples, especially those who were close to Jesus, could have preserved these intimate details in their memories.

The error in this is that Jesus couldn't have told them what happen with such details and clarity! And Jesus never met Luke and Mark!

2. Through Divine Inspiration:
- The Gospel writers believed to have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write down the accounts of Jesus' life and teachings. It is possible that the Spirit guided them to include these private moments in their narratives, even if they were not physically present during those times.

The error in this is that the holy spirit would never make mistakes! There have been many mistakes found in the gospels. So we can rule out any Holy Spirit divine inspiration. More so, Luke confessed in Luke 1:1 that Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, so all of them were just drawing up accounts based on hearsays, eyewitnesses and other documents handed over to them!

3. Through Disciples' Observations:
- While the disciples may not have been present during every solitary moment of Jesus, they could have witnessed him seeking solitude on various occasions and understood the importance of these moments in his ministry. They might have highlighted these instances based on their observations of Jesus' habits.

While this can be true to a large extent, it can't give a clear picture as to what Jesus was doing!
For Example:

Going a little ahead, he fell on his face, praying, “My Father, if there is any way, get me out of this. But please, not what I want. You, what do you want?” Matthew 26:39

Who was peeping when Jesus was alone?

4. Through Jesus' Actions and Teachings:
- Jesus' actions and teachings often reflected his need for solitude and prayer. The Gospel writers could have inferred these private moments of Jesus based on his behavior, words, and the significance he placed on prayer and communion with God.

This could be true. But inferences can never be passes off as reality!

More Criticism

1. Absence of Direct Witness:
- One counterargument is that without direct witnesses to Jesus' solitary moments, the Gospel writers may have relied on speculation, creative interpretation, or theological reflection to include these details in their narratives. This lack of firsthand observation raises questions about the accuracy and authenticity of the accounts.

2. Literary Devices:
- Critics may argue that the Gospel writers used literary devices, symbolism, or narrative techniques to convey spiritual truths or theological themes rather than strict historical accuracy. The inclusion of alone moments could be seen as a literary device to emphasize Jesus' divine nature or spiritual significance. But which kind literary device be that?

3. Community Traditions:
- Some scholars suggest that the Gospel writers were influenced by community traditions, oral stories, and theological beliefs of early Christian communities. The inclusion of Jesus' alone moments could have been shaped by the theological agendas or perspectives of these communities rather than direct historical accounts. I still don't get why you'll create alone moment to create a theology around your own belief!

4. Theological Interpretation:
- Another counterargument is that the Gospel writers may have interpreted Jesus' actions and teachings through a theological lens, emphasizing his divinity, messianic mission, or role as the Son of God. The portrayal of Jesus' alone moments could reflect theological themes rather than strict historical accuracy. Theological themes again?

5. Narrative Harmonization:
- Critics of the Gospel accounts may highlight the practice of narrative harmonization, where later writers or editors sought to harmonize and reconcile different Gospel narratives. The inclusion of Jesus' alone moments across multiple Gospels could be a result of this editorial process rather than individual eyewitness testimony. This is harmonization gone too far! Why edit this much?
