Preaching in Galilee

35 Very(A) early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place;(B) and there he was praying.(C) 36 Simon(D) and his companions searched for him, 37 and when they found him they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”

38 And he said to them, “Let’s go on to the neighboring villages so that I may preach(E) there too. This is why I have come.”

A Man Cleansed

39 He went into all of Galilee,(F) preaching in their synagogues(G) and driving out demons. 40 Then(H) a man with leprosy[a](I) came to him and, on his knees,[b](J) begged him, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”(K) 41 Moved with compassion,[c](L) Jesus reached out his hand and touched(M) him. “I am willing,” he told him. “Be made clean.” 42 Immediately the leprosy(N) left him, and he was made clean.
