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.

Preaching Throughout Galilee
35 And getting up early in the morning while it was very dark, he departed and went to a deserted place, and there he was praying. 36 And Simon and those who were with him searched diligently 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, into the neighboring rural towns, so that I can preach there also, because I have come out for this very reason.” 39 And he went into all Galilee preaching in their synagogues and expelling demons.
