Mark 1:35-39

New International Reader's Version

Jesus Prays in a Quiet Place

³⁵ It was very early in the morning and still dark. Jesus got up and left the house. He went to a place where he could be alone. There he prayed. ³⁶ Simon and his friends went to look for Jesus. ³⁷ When they found him, they called out, “Everyone is looking for you!”

³⁸ Jesus replied, “Let’s go somewhere else. I want to go to the nearby towns. I must preach there also. That is why I have come.” ³⁹ So he traveled all around Galilee. He preached in their synagogues. He also drove out demons.
