4 Maccabees 4:17 In-Context

15 After King Seleucus died, his son Antiochus Epiphanes came to power. He was a proud and horrible man.

16 Antiochus removed Onias from the office of high priest and installed Onias' brother Jason in his place.

17 Jason had agreed to pay the king three thousand six hundred sixty talents every year if he were made high priest.

18 So Antiochus appointed Jason to the office of high priest and made him the ruler of the nation.

19 Jason changed the nation's culture and the government so that they completely contradicted the Law.
