Daniel 6:1

New Catholic Bible

Footnotes

1. Daniel 6:1 The Babylonian kings are followed by a Persian monarch. Because he has been advanced to high offices in the empire, Daniel has aroused the jealousy of other officials. His manner of praying becomes the basis for an accusation, and he is condemned. But the trust and fidelity of the righteous will be rewarded: Daniel will be saved. Moreover—and this is the apologetic purpose of the story—the astonished king will make a public profession of faith in the living God who delivers, rescues, and will, himself, proclaim the unending reign of God (vv. 27-28).
