^35 (A)And in the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus rose up, went out of the house, and went away to a desolate place, and ^(B)was praying there. ³⁶ And Simon and his companions searched for Him; ³⁷ and they found Him, and *said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.” ³⁸ And He *said to them, “Let us go elsewhere, to the towns nearby, so that I may ^[a]preach there also; for that is what I came out for.”

^42 (A)When day came, Jesus left and went to a secluded place; and the crowds were eagerly seeking for Him, and came to Him and tried to keep Him from going away from them. ⁴³ But He said to them, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, ^(B)for I was sent for this purpose.”
