4 Maccabees 12:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

The Torture of the Seventh Brother

12 When he too, thrown into the cauldron, had died a blessed death, the seventh and youngest of all came forward. ² Even though the tyrant had been vehemently reproached by the brothers, he felt strong compassion for this child when he saw that he was already in fetters. He summoned him to come nearer and tried to persuade him, saying, ³ ‘You see the result of your brothers’ stupidity, for they died in torments because of their disobedience.
