Jeremiah 13:5-7
13:5 So I went and buried them at Perath
as the
Lord had ordered me to do.
13:6 Many days later the
Lord said to me, “Go at once to Perath and get
the shorts I ordered you to bury there.”
13:7 So I went to Perath and dug up

that they were ruined; they were good for nothing.

5:26 Then the commander of the temple guard went with the officers and brought the apostles without the use of force (for they were afraid of being stoned by the people).
5:27 When they had brought them, they stood them before the council, and the high priest questioned them,
5:28 saying, “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name. Look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood on us!”
5:29 But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than people.
