1 Maccabees 2:35 In-Context

33 "There is still time," they shouted out to the Jews. "Come out and obey the king's command, and we will spare your lives."

34 "We will not come out," they answered. "We will not obey the king's command, and we will not profane the Sabbath."

35 The soldiers attacked them immediately,

36 but the Jews did nothing to resist; they did not even throw stones or block the entrances to the caves where they were hiding.

37 They said, "We will all die with a clear conscience. Let heaven and earth bear witness that you are slaughtering us unjustly."
