Context of Mark 1:39
37and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!” 38Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.” So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons. 40A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” 41Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!”

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 38-39Prayer equipped Jesus to preach, teach, heal, and drive out demons (1:35). The mission of Jesus in Galilee focused on preaching in the synagogues, where he took the opportunity to speak (1:21; Luke 4:16–30). The apostle Paul later took advantage of this same opportunity (Acts 13:5, 14–15; 14:1; 16:13; 17:1).
