2 Maccabees 4:35-37

Good News Translation

Andronicus Is Punished

³⁵ The Jews and Gentiles were very angry because Onias had been murdered. ³⁶ So when the king returned from the territory of Cilicia, the Jews of Antioch went to him and protested against this senseless killing. Many Gentiles felt the same way about the crime. ³⁷ King Antiochus was deeply grieved and was so filled with sorrow that he was moved to tears when he recalled the wisdom and self-control that Onias had shown throughout his life.
