Jeremiah Dictates Another Scroll
27 After the king had burned the scroll and the words Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation,[a] the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 28 “Take another scroll, and once again write on it the original words that were on the original scroll that King Jehoiakim of Judah burned.(A) 29 You are to proclaim concerning King Jehoiakim of Judah, ‘This is what the Lord says: You have burned the scroll, asking, “Why have you written on it that(B) the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land and cause it to be without people or animals?” (C) 30 Therefore, this is what the Lord says concerning King Jehoiakim of Judah: He will have no one to sit on David’s throne,(D) and his corpse will be thrown out to be exposed to the heat of day and the frost of night.(E) 31 I will punish him, his descendants, and his officers for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the residents of Jerusalem, and on the people of Judah all the disaster, which I warned them about but they did not listen.’”
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch son of Neriah, the scribe, and he wrote on it at Jeremiah’s dictation[b] all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim,(F) Judah’s king, had burned in the fire. And many other words like them were added.
Healings at Capernaum
38 After he left the synagogue, he entered Simon’s house.(A) Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked him about her.(B) 39 So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately(C) and began to serve them.
40 When the sun was setting, all those who had anyone sick with various diseases brought them to him. As he laid his hands on each one of them, he healed them.(D) 41 Also, demons were coming out of many, shouting and saying, “You are the Son of God!” (E) But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah.(F)
42 When it was day, he went out and made his way to a deserted place.(G) But the crowds were searching for him. They came to him and tried to keep him from leaving them. 43 But he said to them, “It is necessary for me to proclaim the good news about the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because I was sent for this purpose.” 44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.[a](H)
