2 Maccabees 3:32-34

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³² So the high priest considering that the king might perhaps suspect that some mischief had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice of health for the recovery of the man.

³³ And when the high priest was praying, the same young men in the same clothing stood by Heliodorus, and said to him: Give thanks to Onias the priest: because for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life.

³⁴ And thou having been scourged by God, declare unto all men the great works and the power of God. And having spoken thus, they appeared no more.
