2 Maccabees 7:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² So that the king, and they that were with him, wondered at the young man's courage, because he esteemed the torments as nothing.

¹³ And after he was thus dead, they tormented the fourth in the like manner.

¹⁴ And when he was now ready to die, he spoke thus: It is better, being put to death by men, to look for hope from God, to be raised up again by him: for, as to thee thou shalt have no resurrection unto life.
