If the infinitely wise and all-knowing god of the Bible exists, then that god obviously would have been smart enough to know that Bible readers would understand that Jesus was completely alone as he prayed at Gethsemane, so no one could have overhead his prayer.
Daddy was watching from above. Doesn't take too much infinite wisdom and all knowingness to watch his Son does it?

Mox notes,

That's right, Mox; Ahithophel, the "counselor" who betrayed David, died the same way that Matthew's Judas did: they each hanged themselves.It looks like Matthew was trying to improve upon Mark's parallels.
