Forgive your people who have sinned against you. Forgive all the offenses they have committed against you. Make their captors merciful to them,

Never abandon a friend— either yours or your father’s. When disaster strikes, you won’t have to ask your brother for assistance. It’s better to go to a neighbor than to a brother who lives far away.

But Ebed melech the Ethiopian, an important court official, heard that Jeremiah was in the cistern. At that time the king was holding court at the Benjamin Gate,so Ebed melech rushed from the palace to speak with him.“ My lord the king,” he said,“ these men have done a very evil thing in putting Jeremiah the prophet into the cistern. He will soon die of hunger, for almost all the bread in the city is gone.”So the king told Ebed melech,“ Take thirty of my men with you, and pull Jeremiah out of the cistern before he dies.”So Ebed melech took the men with him and went to a room in the palace beneath the treasury, where he found some old rags and discarded clothing. He carried these to the cistern and lowered them to Jeremiah on a rope.Ebed melech called down to Jeremiah,“ Put these rags under your armpits to protect you from the ropes.” Then when Jeremiah was ready,they pulled him out. So Jeremiah was returned to the courtyard of the guard— the palace prison— where he remained.

The people retorted,“ You Samaritan devil! Didn’t we say all along that you were possessed by a demon?”

The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus,“ You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?”

“ Say to Ebed melech the Ethiopian,‘ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: I will do to this city everything I have threatened. I will send disaster, not prosperity. You will see its destruction,but I will rescue you from those you fear so much.Because you trusted me, I will give you your life as a reward. I will rescue you and keep you safe. I, the Lord, have spoken!’”

He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan.Jesus asked,“ Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine?Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”

He sent messengers ahead to a Samaritan village to prepare for his arrival.But the people of the village did not welcome Jesus because he was on his way to Jerusalem.
