| 35 And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed. 36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him; 37 and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee. 38 And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth. 39 And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out 4devils. | 23 And 1Jesus went about in all Galilee,a teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the 2gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the the people. 24 And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, 3possessed with devils, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them. 25 And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond Jordan. | 42 And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought after him, and came unto him, and would have stayed him, that he should not go from them. 43 But he said unto them, I must preach the 5good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: for therefore was I sent. 44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of 6Galilee. |
