4 Maccabees 6:26-29

26 When he was now burned to his very bones and about to expire, he lifted up his eyes to God and said,

27 "You know, O God, that though I might have saved myself, I am dying in burning torments for the sake of the law.

28 Be merciful to your people, and let our punishment suffice for them.

29 Make my blood their purification, and take my life in exchange for theirs."
