New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁷ and he said to the people, “Do not be greedy for plunder, for there is a battle before us; ¹⁸ Gorgias and his force are near us in the hills. But stand now against our enemies and fight them and afterward seize the plunder boldly.”

¹⁹ Just as Judas was finishing this speech, a detachment appeared coming out of the hills.
