2 Maccabees 12:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ And Timotheus himself fell into the hands of the band of Dositheus and Sosipater, and with many prayers he besought them to let him go with his life, because he had the parents and brethren of many of the Jews, who, by his death, might happen to be deceived.

²⁵ And when he had given his faith that he would restore them according to the agreement, they let him go without hurt, for the saving of their brethren.

²⁶ Then Judas went away to Carnion, where he slew five and twenty thousand persons.
