2 Maccabees 2:22-24

Good News Translation

²² They recaptured the Temple famous throughout the world, liberated Jerusalem, and restored the laws that were in danger of being abolished. They were able to do all these things because the Lord was merciful and kind to them.

²³ I will now try to summarize in a single book the five volumes written by Jason. ²⁴ The number of details and the bulk of material can be overwhelming for anyone who wants to read an account of the events.
