|
|

And G2532 when the G3588 devil G1140 had thrown G4496 him G846 in G1519 the G3588 midst G3319 , he came G1831 out of G575 him G846 , and G2532 hurt G984 him G846 not G3367 .

|
|
37. And so the news about Jesus spread to every place in the whole area.
|
37. And G2532 the fame G2279 of G4012 him G846 went out G1607 into G1519 every G3956 place G5117 of the G3588 country round about G4066 .

And G2532 he rebuking G2008 them suffered G1439 them G846 not G3756 to speak G2980 : for G3754 they knew G1492 that he G846 was G1511 Christ G5547 .
|
|
42. The next day Jesus went to a place to be alone. The people looked for him. When they found him, they tried to stop him from leaving.
|
42. And G1161 when it was G1096 day G2250 , he departed G1831 and went G4198 into G1519 a desert G2048 place G5117 : and G2532 the G3588 people G3793 sought G2212 him G846 , and G2532 came G2064 unto G2193 him G846 , and G2532 stayed G2722 him G846 , that he should not G3361 depart G4198 from G575 them G846 .
|
|
43. But he said to them, "I must tell the Good News about God's kingdom to other towns too. This is why I was sent."
|
43. And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 unto G4314 them G846 , I G3165 must G1163 preach G2097 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 to other G2087 cities G4172 also G2532 : for G3754 therefore G1519 G5124 am I sent G649 .
