2 Maccabees 3:36-38

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁶ And he testified to all men the works of the great God, which he had seen with his own eyes.

³⁷ And when the king asked Heliodorus, who might be a fit man to be sent yet once more to Jerusalem, he said:

³⁸ If thou hast any enemy or traitor to thy kingdom, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him again scourged, if so be he escape: for there is undoubtedly in that place a certain power of God.
