33. The whole city had gathered at his door.
34. He cured many who were sick with various diseases and forced many demons out of people. However, he would not allow the demons to speak. After all, they knew who he was.
35. In the morning, long before sunrise, Jesus went to a place where he could be alone to pray.
36. Simon and his friends searched for him.
37. When they found him, they told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38. Jesus said to them, “Let’s go somewhere else, to the small towns that are nearby. I have to spread ⌊the Good News⌋ in them also. This is why I have come.”
39. So he went to spread ⌊the Good News⌋ in the synagogues all over Galilee, and he forced demons out of people.
40. Then a man with a serious skin disease came to him. The man fell to his knees and begged Jesus, “If you’re willing, you can make me clean.”
