4 Maccabees 17:16 In-Context

14 The tyrant was the opponent, and the world and the human race were the audience.

15 Respect for God won the day and crowned its champions.

16 Who wasn't amazed at the athletes who were competing in the name of the divine Law? Who wasn't astonished?

17 The tyrant himself, along with all his political advisors, was amazed at their resistance,

18 for which they now stand in front of God's throne and live a blessed life forever.
