當耶利米先知來到便雅憫門時，哈拿尼亞的孫子、示利米雅的兒子守門官伊利雅逮捕了他，說：「你想去投奔迦勒底人！」

你們憎恨在城門口主持公道的人，厭惡正直的人。

他父母要抓住他，把他帶到城門口去見本城的長老，對他們說，

埃及的使節來朝見，古實也要歸降上帝。

因此，為首的將要殿後，殿後的將要為首。」

耶穌回答說：「有個人從耶路撒冷去耶利哥，途中被劫。強盜剝了他的衣服，把他打個半死，丟在那裡，然後揚長而去。「剛好有位祭司經過，看見那人躺在地上，連忙從旁邊繞過，繼續趕路。又有個利未人經過，也跟先前那個祭司一樣從旁邊繞過去了。「後來，有位撒瑪利亞人經過，看見這個人，就動了慈心，連忙上前用油和酒替他敷傷口，包紮妥當，然後把他扶上自己騎的牲口，帶到附近的客店照料。次日還交給店主兩個銀幣，說，『請替我好好照顧這個人。如果錢不夠的話，等我回來再補給你。』那麼，你認為這三個人中誰是被劫者的鄰居呢？」

「你去告訴古實人以伯·米勒，以色列的上帝——萬軍之耶和華說，『看啊，我必照我說的使這城遭受災禍，得不到祝福。你必親眼看見這一切發生。』耶和華說，『但那時，我必拯救你，使你不致落在你所懼怕的人手中。我必拯救你，使你保全性命，不致喪身刀下，因為你信靠我。這是耶和華說的。』」

他把約雅斤及其母親、妃嬪、臣僕和國中政要從耶路撒冷擄到巴比倫。

古實人能改變他們的膚色嗎？豹子能脫去牠們的斑點嗎？你這作惡成性的人怎能行善呢？

腓利立刻動身，結果在那條路上遇見一個衣索匹亞的太監。他是衣索匹亞女王甘大基手下的重臣，負責管理國庫。他剛從耶路撒冷參加敬拜回來，正坐在車上誦讀以賽亞先知的書。聖靈吩咐腓利：「趕上去，貼近那輛馬車！」腓利跑上前，聽見太監在誦讀以賽亞先知的書，就問：「你明白所讀的經文嗎？」他說：「沒有人為我解釋，我怎能明白呢？」他就請腓利上車和他一起坐。他剛才念的那段經文是：「祂默然不語，像被人牽去宰殺的羔羊，又如在剪毛人手下一聲不吭的綿羊。祂忍受恥辱，無人為祂主持公道，誰能明白那個世代呢？因為祂的生命竟然被奪去。」太監問腓利：「請問先知是在說誰？在說他自己還是在說別人？」腓利就從這段經文入手向他傳耶穌的福音。他們往前走的時候，經過一處有水的地方，太監說：「你看，這裡有水，我可以在這裡接受洗禮嗎？」

我告訴你們，將來有許多從東從西來的人會在天國與亞伯拉罕、以撒和雅各一同歡宴。但那些本應承受天國的人反會被趕出去，在黑暗裡哀哭切齒。」

那時人們會從東西南北來參加上帝國的宴席。看啊，有些殿後的將要為首，有些為首的將要殿後。」

「那時，我去城門口，到廣場就坐，青年看見我便迴避，老人也起身肅立；王侯都停止講話，用手掩口；權貴都靜默無聲，舌頭緊貼上膛。聽見我的都祝福我，看見我的都稱讚我。因為我拯救求助的窮人，解救無人援助的孤兒。臨終的人為我祝福，我使寡婦心裡歡唱。我以公義為衣穿在身上，公正是我的外袍和帽子。我做瞎子的眼、瘸子的腳；我做窮人的父，為陌生人伸冤。我打落惡人的毒牙，從他們口中救出受害者。
