4 Maccabees 6:5 In-Context

3 After they had tied his arms on each side they flogged him,

4 while a herald who faced him cried out, "Obey the king's commands!"

5 But the courageous and noble man, like a true Eleazar, was unmoved, as though being tortured in a dream;

6 yet while the old man's eyes were raised to heaven, his flesh was being torn by scourges, his blood flowing, and his sides were being cut to pieces.

7 Although he fell to the ground because his body could not endure the agonies, he kept his reason upright and unswerving.
