35. Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.
36. Simon and those who were with him followed after him;
37. and they found him, and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38. He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”
39. He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
40. A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”
41. Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”
