Jeremiah 1:4-10
New King James Version
The Prophet Is Called
4 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5 “Before I (A)formed you in the womb (B)I knew you;
Before you were born I (C)sanctified[a] you;
I [b]ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Then said I:
(D)“Ah, Lord God!
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7 But the Lord said to me:
“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And (E)whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 (F)Do not be afraid of their faces,
For (G)I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.
9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and (H)touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:
“Behold, I have (I)put My words in your mouth.
10 (J)See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To (K)root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”

2 Timothy 3:14-4:5
New King James Version
14 But you must (A)continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known (B)the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 (C)All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, (D)and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for [a]instruction in righteousness, 17 (E)that the man of God may be complete, (F)thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Preach the Word
4 I (G)charge you [b]therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, (H)who will judge the living and the dead [c]at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. (I)Convince, (J)rebuke, (K)exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 (L)For the time will come when they will not endure (M)sound doctrine, (N)but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and (O)be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, (P)endure afflictions, do the work of (Q)an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

New King James Version
Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed(A)
38 (B)Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. But Simon’s wife’s mother was [a]sick with a high fever, and they (C)made request of Him concerning her. 39 So He stood over her and (D)rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.
Many Healed After Sabbath Sunset(E)
40 (F)When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them. 41 (G)And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, (H)“You are [b]the Christ, the Son of God!”
And He, (I)rebuking them, did not allow them to [c]speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
Jesus Preaches in Galilee(J)
42 (K)Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them; 43 but He said to them, “I must (L)preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” 44 (M)And He was preaching in the synagogues of [d]Galilee.
