So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.

Prayer 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).
Jesus relied on the Jewish practice of kindness to strangers when he traveled (compare Mark 6:10; Genesis 18:1–8; 19:1–8; Luke 10:7; Hebrews 13:2; 3 John 1:5–8).
The region of Galilee measured about 65 kilometers (40 miles) north to south and 40 kilometers (25 miles) east to west. In the time of Jesus, Galilee was ruled by Herod Antipas.
