Mark 1:38
But Jesus answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.”
What it says
He says that is why he came, and he leads them onward from town to town.
What it is doing
It ties his preaching to his mission through Galilee there.
In context
35Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and went out to a solitary place to pray. 36Simon and his companions went to look for Him, 37and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!” 38But Jesus answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.” 39So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
