Jesus' First Tour of Galilee

And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them. And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, and they found him and said to him, "Everyone is looking for you."

And he said to them, "Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out. I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose"

And he went throughout all Galilee and Judea, teaching [and] preaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, healing every disease and every affliction among the people and casting out demons.

So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them. And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

[Matthew 4:23-25, Mark 1:35-39, Luke 4:42-44]
