4 Maccabees 17:8-10
Common English Bible
The martyrs’ achievements
8 What would be an appropriate message that could be carved on their tomb to remind our nation’s people? Perhaps these words:
9 here lie buried an old priest, an old woman, and seven children because of the violence of a tyrant who wished to destroy the hebrew way of life.
10 they won justice for their nation by fixing their eyes on god and enduring torture to the point of death.
