Spreading the Good News—Matthew 4:23–25; Mark 1:35–39

42In the morning he went to a place where he could be alone. The crowds searched for him. When they came to him, they tried to keep him from leaving. 43But he said to them, “I have to tell the Good News about God’s kingdom in other cities also. That’s what I was sent to do.” 

44So he spread his message in the synagogues of Judea.a
