Jeremiah 26:2

26:2 The Lord said, “Go stand in the courtyard of the Lord’s temple. ²  Speak out to all the people who are coming from the towns of Judah to worship in the Lord’s temple. Tell them everything I command you to tell them. Do not leave out a single word!

Acts 20:27

20:27 For I did not hold back from ³  announcing ⁴  to you the whole purpose ⁵  of God.

¹ tn Heb “commanding.”

² sn It is generally agreed that the incident recorded in this chapter relates to the temple message that Jeremiah gave in 7:1-15. The message there is summarized here in vv. 3-6. The primary interest here is in the response to that message.
