¹⁹ Then the officials^(A) said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah, go and hide.^(B) Don’t let anyone know where you are.”

³ “Leave here, turn eastward and hide^(A) in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan.

²⁶ Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the king, Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest^(A) Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the Lord had hidden^(B) them.

²⁰ (Now Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim^(A) was another man who prophesied in the name of the Lord; he prophesied the same things against this city and this land as Jeremiah did. ²¹ When King Jehoiakim^(B) and all his officers and officials^(C) heard his words, the king was determined to put him to death.^(D) But Uriah heard of it and fled^(E) in fear to Egypt. ²² King Jehoiakim, however, sent Elnathan^(F) son of Akbor to Egypt, along with some other men. ²³ They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him struck down with a sword^(G) and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.)^(H)

²⁴ Furthermore, Ahikam^(I) son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, and so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.

¹⁰ As surely as the Lord your God lives, there is not a nation or kingdom where my master has not sent someone to look^(A) for you. And whenever a nation or kingdom claimed you were not there, he made them swear they could not find you.

⁴ While Jezebel^(A) was killing off the Lord’s prophets, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden^(B) them in two caves, fifty in each, and had supplied^(C) them with food and water.)

¹⁶ But when the son of Paul’s sister heard of this plot, he went into the barracks^(A) and told Paul.

¹⁷ Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.” ¹⁸ So he took him to the commander.

The centurion said, “Paul, the prisoner,^(B) sent for me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”

¹⁹ The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside and asked, “What is it you want to tell me?”

²⁰ He said: “Some Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul before the Sanhedrin^(C) tomorrow on the pretext of wanting more accurate information about him.^{(D) 21} Don’t give in to them, because more than forty^(E) of them are waiting in ambush for him. They have taken an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him.^(F) They are ready now, waiting for your consent to their request.”

²² The commander dismissed the young man with this warning: “Don’t tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”

⁴⁰ His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged.^(A) Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

Jesus’ Sorrow for Jerusalem^(A)(B)

³¹ At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod^(C) wants to kill you.”
