3 Maccabees 6:27-29

Common English Bible

²⁷ Release them from those undeserved chains! Send them in peace back to their homes, and seek forgiveness for the deeds that have been done. ²⁸ Free the children of the almighty, living God of heaven, who from the days of our ancestors until now has given our kingdom constant and notable stability.” ²⁹ So the king said these things, and the Jews, who were released immediately, praised their holy God and savior, since they had just now escaped death.
