Mark 1:35-39
New English Translation
Praying and Preaching
35 Then[a] Jesus[b] got up early in the morning when it was still very dark, departed, and went out to a deserted place, and there he spent time in prayer.[c] 36 Simon and his companions searched for him. 37 When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.” 38 He replied,[d] “Let us go elsewhere, into the surrounding villages, so that I can preach there too. For that is what I came out here to do.”[e] 39 So[f] he went into all of Galilee preaching in their synagogues[g] and casting out demons.

Common English Bible
35 Early in the morning, well before sunrise, Jesus rose and went to a deserted place where he could be alone in prayer. 36 Simon and those with him tracked him down. 37 When they found him, they told him, “Everyone’s looking for you!”
38 He replied, “Let’s head in the other direction, to the nearby villages, so that I can preach there too. That’s why I’ve come.” 39 He traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and throwing out demons.
