Jeremiah 26:15

26:15 But you should take careful note of this: If you put me to death, you will bring on yourselves and this city and those who live in it the guilt of murdering an innocent man. For the Lord has sent me to speak all this where you can hear it. That is the truth!” ¹ 

Amos 7:15

7:15 Then the Lord took me from tending ²  flocks and gave me this commission, ³  ‘Go! Prophesy to my people Israel!’

Acts 4:19-20

4:19 But Peter and John replied, ⁴  “Whether it is right before God to obey ⁵  you rather than God, you decide, 4:20 for it is impossible ⁶  for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard.”

¹ tn Heb “For in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words/things.”

² tn Heb “from [following] after.”

³ tn Heb “and the Lord said to me.”

⁴ tn Grk “answered and said to them.”

⁵ tn Grk “hear,” but the idea of “hear and obey” or simply “obey” is frequently contained in the Greek verb ἀκούω (akouw; see L&N 36.14).

⁶ tn Grk “for we are not able not to speak about what we have seen and heard,” but the double negative, which cancels out in English, is emphatic in Greek. The force is captured somewhat by the English translation “it is impossible for us not to speak…” although this is slightly awkward.
