4 Maccabees 17:17 In-Context

15 Reverence for God was victor and gave the crown to its own athletes.

16 Who did not admire the athletes of the divine legislation? Who were not amazed?

17 The tyrant himself and all his council marveled at their endurance,

18 because of which they now stand before the divine throne and live the life of eternal blessedness.

19 For Moses says, "All who are consecrated are under your hands."
