4 Maccabees 4:18 In-Context

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.

20 He constructed a Greek school and athletic complex in the heart of the city and abandoned the care of the temple.
