2 Maccabees 3:26-28

Good News Translation

²⁶ Heliodorus also saw two unusually strong and handsome young men, wearing very fine clothes. They stood on either side of him and beat him unmercifully. ²⁷ He immediately fell to the ground unconscious, and his men put him on a stretcher ²⁸ and carried him out. Only a moment earlier this man had entered the treasury with a large group of men, including all his bodyguards, but now he was being carried away helpless. So they all^[a] openly acknowledged the mighty power of God.
