2 Maccabees 4:18-20

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁸ Soothly when Justus, done once in five years (Now when the athletic game that was done every five years), was made solemnly in Tyre, and the king was present,

¹⁹ Jason, full of great trespasses, sent from Jerusalem men sinners, (or some Antiochenes), bearing three hundred double drachmas of silver into (or for) (the) sacrifice of Hercules; which these men that bare out asked, that those were not given in sacrifices, for it needed not, but that those shall be ordained into other expenses. [Jason, full of great trespasses sent from Jerusalem men sinners, bearing three hundred drachmas of silver into sacrifice of Hercules; which these men that bare out asked, that they were not given in sacrifices, for it needed not, but into other expenses them for to be ordained.]

²⁰ But soothly these were offered of (or by) him that sent into (or for) the sacrifice of Hercules; soothly for (the) men present those [or they] were given into (the) making of great ships.
