Luke 4:43-44

J.B. Phillips New Testament

Jesus attempts to be alone—in vain

^42-43 At daybreak, he went off to a deserted place, but the crowds tried to find him and when they did discover him, tried to prevent him from leaving them. But he told them, “I must tell the good news of the kingdom of God to other towns as well—that is my mission.”

⁴⁴ And he continued proclaiming his message in the synagogues of Judea.
