Context of Luke 4:44

42Early the next morning, Jesus went to a place where he could be alone. The people went to look for him. When they found him they said, ‘Do not leave us! Please stay here with us.’ 43Jesus replied, ‘I must go to other towns to tell everyone the good news. I will tell them how God rules in the lives of his people. That is what God sent me to do.’ Then he travelled to many towns in the country called Judea. He went into the Jewish meeting places and taught people there.
