Jesus' Retreat

29	JESUS' RETREAT
Matt 8	Mark 1		Luke 4
	35	And in the morning,	42	And
		a great while before day,		when it was day
		he rose		he departed
		and went out to a lonely place,		and went into a lonely place.
		and there he prayed.
	36	And Simon		And the people
		and those who were with him
		pursued him,		sought him
	37	and they found him		and came to him,
		and said to him,		and would have kept him
		"Every one is searching for you."		from leaving them;
	38	And he said to them,	43	but he said to them,
		"Let us go on to the next towns,
		that I may preach there also;*		"I must preach the good news
				of the kingdom of God
				to the other cities also;*
		for that is why I came out."		for I was sent for this purpose."
