1 Maccabees 12:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 For we have the help of Heaven for our support, and we have been saved from our enemies, and our enemies have been humbled. 16 So we have chosen Numenius, son of Antiochus, and Antipater, son of Jason, and we have sent them to the Romans to renew with them the friendship and alliance of earlier times.(A) 17 We have also ordered them to come to you and greet you, and to deliver to you our letter concerning the renewal of our brotherhood.
