2 Maccabees 15:3-5
Good News Translation
3 Then Nicanor, the lowest creature on earth, asked if there was some sovereign ruler in heaven who had commanded them to honor the Sabbath. 4 And the Jews replied,
Yes; the living Lord, who rules in heaven, commanded us to honor the Sabbath.
5 But Nicanor answered,
I am the ruler on earth, and I order you to take up your weapons and to do what the king commands. However, he did not succeed in carrying out his cruel plan.
