So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons — the ministry summary confirms the geographic scope declared in verse 38. The whole Galilean circuit — synagogues throughout the region — is completed, and the two-part ministry of proclamation and exorcism characterizes every stop. The synagogue-by-synagogue pattern gives structure to the otherwise narratively compressed summary: this is not one event but a sustained campaign across the whole region. The driving out of demons is listed alongside the preaching as equally essential to the mission — the kingdom's arrival involves both announced and demonstrated power over every realm of human bondage.
