2 Maccabees 2:23-25

Good News Translation

²³ I will now try to summarize in a single book the five volumes written by Jason. ²⁴ The number of details and the bulk of material can be overwhelming for anyone who wants to read an account of the events. ²⁵ But I have attempted to simplify it for all readers; those who read for sheer pleasure will find enjoyment and those who want to memorize the facts will not find it difficult.
