Good News Translation

³³ When Onias heard about this, he fled for safety to a temple at Daphne near the city of Antioch and openly accused Menelaus. ^34 (A)Then Menelaus secretly persuaded Andronicus to kill Onias. So Andronicus went to Onias and deceived him with a friendly greeting and with promises of safety. Although Onias was suspicious, Andronicus finally lured him away from the safety of the temple and immediately murdered him in cold blood.
