Teaching, Preaching, and Healing

²³ Now Jesus began to go all over Galilee,^(A) teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every^[a] disease and sickness^[b] among the people.^{(B) 24} Then the news about him spread throughout Syria.^(C) So they brought to him all those who were afflicted, those suffering from various diseases and intense pains, the demon-possessed, the epileptics, and the paralytics.^(D) And he healed them. ²⁵ Large crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.^(E)

⁴² When it was day, he went out and made his way to a deserted place.^(A) But the crowds were searching for him. They came to him and tried to keep him from leaving them. ⁴³ But he said to them, “It is necessary for me to proclaim the good news about the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because I was sent for this purpose.” ⁴⁴ And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.^[a](B)
