4 Maccabees 13:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ These brothers all spent the same length of time in the same womb. They were formed over the same period of time. They grew from the same blood, and they were brought to full term with the same life. ²¹ They were born after the same amount of time, and drank milk from the same fountains. The same fond embraces nurtured brotherly love in their souls. ²² They grew more fervent as they were brought up together enjoying each other’s company day after day, and being shaped by the same education, particularly their training in God’s Law.
