32 That evening after sunset, all who were sick or had demons in them were brought to Jesus.
33 In fact, the whole town gathered around the door of the house.
34 Jesus healed all kinds of terrible diseases and forced out a lot of demons. But the demons knew who he was, and he did not let them speak.
35 Very early the next morning, Jesus got up and went to a place where he could be alone and pray.
36 Simon and the others started looking for him.
37 And when they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you!”
38 Jesus replied, “We must go to the nearby towns, so that I can tell the good news to those people. This is why I have come.”
