2 Maccabees 4:35-37

New Catholic Bible

³⁵ The unjust murder of this man resulted in an outpouring of grief and outrage not only among the Jews but among people from many other nations as well. ³⁶ When the king returned from the region of Cilicia, the Jews of the city protested to him about the indefensible killing of Onias, and in this they were joined by Greeks who shared their anger about this criminal act.^{[a] 37} Antiochus was deeply grieved and filled with pity, and he wept as he recalled the prudence and exemplary conduct of the dead man.
