Mark 1:35-39

[35] And  in the morning,  rising up  a great while  before day,  he went out,  and  departed  into  a solitary  place,  and there  prayed.  [36] And  Simon  and  they that were with  him  followed after  him.  [37] And  when they had found  him,  they said  unto him,  All  men seek  [38] And  he said  unto them,  Let us go  into  the next  towns,  that  I may preach  for  therefore  came I forth.  [39] And  he preached  their  synagogues  throughout  all  Galilee,  and  cast out  devils.
