2 Maccabees 15:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ That unhappy man asked, if there were a mighty One in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath day to be kept.

⁴ And when they answered: There is the living Lord himself in heaven, the mighty One, that commanded the seventh day to be kept,

⁵ Then he said: And I am mighty upon the earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king's business. Nevertheless he prevailed not to accomplish his design.
