Mark 1:35-39
35And very early, while it was still night, he got up and went out and went away to a deserted place, and there he was praying. 36And Simon and those with him searched for him, 37and they found him and say to him, “Everyone is looking for you.” 38And he says to them, “Let us go elsewhere, into the nearby towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is why I came out.” 39And he went proclaiming in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and driving out the demons.
42And when day came, he went out and went to a deserted place; and the crowds were searching for him, and they came to him and were holding him back so that he would not go away from them. 43But he said to them, “I must bring the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because for this purpose I was sent.” 44And he was proclaiming in the synagogues of Judea.
23And he went around in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. 24And the report about him went out into all Syria; and they brought to him all those who were ill, afflicted with various diseases and torments, the demon-possessed and the moonstruck and paralytics, and he healed them. 25And large crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond the Jordan.
The context
34And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, and he would not let the demons speak, because they knew him.
