But Jesus replied, “We must go on to other towns as well, and I will preach to them, too. That is why I came.”
When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”
So he traveled throughout the region of Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and casting out demons.
“But why did you need to search?” he asked. “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
But he replied, “I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God in other towns, too, because that is why I was sent.”
Yes, I came from the Father into the world, and now I will leave the world and return to the Father.”
I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
for I have passed on to them the message you gave me. They accepted it and know that I came from you, and they believe you sent me.
We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work.
