2 Maccabees 7:10 In-Context

8 He replied in his native language, "I will never eat it!" So the soldiers tortured him, just as they had the first one,
9 but with his dying breath he cried out to the king, "You butcher! You may kill us, but the King of the universe will raise us from the dead and give us eternal life, because we have obeyed his laws."
10 The soldiers began entertaining themselves with the third brother. When he was ordered to stick out his tongue, he quickly did so. Then he bravely held out his hands
11 and courageously said, "God gave these to me. But his laws mean more to me than my hands, and I know God will give them back to me again."
12 The king and those with him were amazed at his courage and at his willingness to suffer.
