4 Maccabees 7:12 In-Context

10 Old man, you had greater force than torture! Elder, you are more powerful than fire! Eleazar, you are supreme ruler over passions!

11 Our father Aaron ran into the midst of the people, armed with a container of burning incense, and had the victory over a fiery angel.

12 In the same way, Aaron's descendant Eleazar, though eaten up by fire, kept his thinking straight.
