Jesus Preaches in Galilee

35 Early the next morning, while it was still very dark, Jesus rose and departed. He went off to a desolate place and prayed there. 36 Simon and his companions searched diligently for him, 37 and when they found him, they said to him, “Everyone is looking for yoʋ.” 38 Jesus said to them, “Let us [fn]go into the neighboring towns so that I may preach there also, for that is why I have come.” 39 So he [fn]was preaching in their synagogues in all of Galilee and casting out demons.
