according to Mark - 6

Pericope 10 - Jesus' Personal Coaching (keeping a cutting edge on his strategy, tactics, and priorities).

And very early, while the darkness stayed,

he, having risen up, went out, & left

to a deserted place, where he then prayed,

and Simon & those with him (now bereft)

went after him, and having found him, say

to him that "Ev'ryone now looks for you!"

And he says to them "Let's be on our way,

to neighb'ring towns - I've heralding to do!

B'coz this is why I have come about."

So he was heralding in synagogues

around all Galilee, and throwing out

the demons (which plagued them, as many frogs).

35Καὶ πρωῒ ἔννυχα λίαν ἀναστὰς ἐξῆλθεν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς ἔρημον τόπον κἀκεῖ προσηύχετο. 36καὶ κατεδίωξεν αὐτὸν Σίμων καὶ οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ, 37καὶ εὗρον αὐτὸν καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ ὅτι πάντες ζητοῦσίν σε. 38καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἄγωμεν ἀλλαχοῦ εἰς τὰς ἐχομένας κωμοπόλεις, ἵνα καὶ ἐκεῖ κηρύξω· εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ἐξῆλθον.

39Καὶ ἦλθεν κηρύσσων εἰς τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν εἰς ὅλην τὴν Γαλιλαίαν καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια ἐκβάλλων. Mark 1:35-39 NA28
