4 Maccabees 6:3-5

Common English Bible

³ They tied his arms behind him and began to whip him from both sides ⁴ while an official kept calling out, “Obey the king’s orders!” ⁵ But Eleazar was dignified and generous. He experienced the truth of his name^[a] and seemed like a person being tortured only in a dream. He didn’t change his resolve in any way.
