2 Maccabees 15:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² In his vision, Judas saw Onias, who had been high priest and was virtuous, good, modest in all things, gentle of manners, and well-spoken. From childhood he had learned all things that properly belong to a good moral life. This man had his hands extended to pray for the entire nation of the Jews. ¹³ Then in the same manner, another man, noteworthy for his gray hair and dignity, appeared with astonishing and splendid glory. ¹⁴ Onias said, “This man is one who loves his brothers and sisters and prays many prayers for the people and the holy city: God’s prophet Jeremiah.”
