2 Maccabees 1:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ Then he bade them draw it up, and bring it to him: and the priest Nehemias commanded the sacrifices that were laid on, to be sprinkled with the same water, both the wood, and the things that were laid upon it.

²² And when this was done, and the time came that the sun shone out, which before was in a cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that all wondered.

²³ And all the priests made prayer, while the sacrifice was consuming, Jonathan beginning, and the rest answering.
