Jeremiah 36:27-32

New International Version

²⁷After the king burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation,^(A) the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: ²⁸“Take another scroll^(B) and write on it all the words that were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah burned up. ²⁹Also tell Jehoiakim king of Judah, ‘This is what the Lord says: You burned that scroll and said, “Why did you write on it that the king of Babylon would certainly come and destroy this land and wipe from it^(C) both man and beast?”^(D) ³⁰Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim^(E) king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on the throne of David; his body will be thrown out^(F) and exposed^(G) to the heat by day and the frost by night.^(H) ³¹I will punish him and his children^(I) and his attendants for their wickedness; I will bring on them and those living in Jerusalem and the people of Judah every disaster^(J) I pronounced against them, because they have not listened.^(K)’”

³²So Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and as Jeremiah dictated,^(L) Baruch wrote^(M) on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned^(N) in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.

³⁸Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. ³⁹So he bent over her and rebuked^(C) the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.

⁴⁰At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one,^(D) he healed them.^(E) ⁴¹Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!”^(F) But he rebuked^(G) them and would not allow them to speak,^(H) because they knew he was the Messiah.

⁴²At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. ⁴³But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God^(I) to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” ⁴⁴And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.^(J)
