Mark 1:35-39

Good News Translation

Jesus Preaches in Galilee^(A)

³⁵ Very early the next morning, long before daylight, Jesus got up and left the house. He went out of town to a lonely place, where he prayed. ³⁶ But Simon and his companions went out searching for him, ³⁷ and when they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”

³⁸ But Jesus answered, “We must go on to the other villages around here. I have to preach in them also, because that is why I came.”

^39 (B)So he traveled all over Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and driving out demons.
