Mark 1:35–39

Jesus Preaches in Galilee

35 Very early the next morning, long before daylight, Jesus got up and left the house. He went out of the town to a lonely place, where he prayed. 36But Simon and his companions went out searching for him, 37and when they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”

38 But Jesus answered, “We must go on to the other villages round here. I have to preach in them also, because that is why I came.” 39*So he travelled all over Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and driving out demons.
