The Beginning of the Gospel: The Servant-King Appears with Authority

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and went out to a solitary place to pray.

36 Simon and his companions went to look for Him,

37 and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”

38 But Jesus answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.”

39 So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
