1 Maccabees 13:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ Simon knew that they were speaking deceitfully to him, but he sent to get the money and the sons, lest he arouse great hostility among the people, who might say, ¹⁸ “Because Simon^[a] did not send him the money and the sons, he perished.” ¹⁹ So he sent the sons and the hundred talents, but Trypho^[b] broke his word and did not release Jonathan.
