From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 6:12-19
At that time Jesus went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, He called unto Him His disciples. And so on.

Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan.
Bk. v. Comment. on Luke 6

All they who go up into the mountain are the great and the aspiring. It is not to every man that the Prophet saith: O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain, Thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength. Isa. xl. 9. Not with bodily feet, but by high deeds get thee up into this mountain, and follow Christ, that thou mayest be a mountain thyself. Therefore it is that thou findest in the Gospel that none but His disciples went up into the mountain with the Lord. The Lord therefore prayeth, not to entreat anything for Himself, but to obtain somewhat for me. For, albeit the Father had given the Son power over all flesh, that He might give eternal life to as many as He had given Him, John xvii. 2, the Son Himself, being found in fashion as a man, Phil. ii. 8, thinketh well to pray the Father John xiv. 16 on our behalf, inasmuch as He is our Advocate with the Father, 1 John ii. 1.
