¹² Jeremiah started to leave the city to go to the territory of Benjamin to get his share of the property^(A) among the people there. ¹³ But when he reached the Benjamin Gate,^(B) the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, arrested him and said, “You are deserting to the Babylonians!”^(C)

¹⁴ “That’s not true!” Jeremiah said. “I am not deserting to the Babylonians.” But Irijah would not listen to him; instead, he arrested^(D) Jeremiah and brought him to the officials. ¹⁵ They were angry with Jeremiah and had him beaten^(E) and imprisoned^(F) in the house^(G) of Jonathan the secretary, which they had made into a prison.

⁶¹ and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”^(A)

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged,^(A) and handed him over to be crucified.
