Common English Bible

³¹ Some of Heliodorus’ companions rushed to ask Onias to pray to the Most High to give life to the one who was about to draw his last breath. ³² The high priest, fearful that perhaps the king might think that the Jews had done something evil to Heliodorus, offered a sacrifice for the man’s recovery.

³³ While the high priest was making the sacrifice for reconciliation, the same two^[a] young men, dressed in the same clothing, appeared again to Heliodorus. They stood by him and said, “You owe Onias the high priest your gratitude. Because of him the Lord has graciously given life to you.
