1 Maccabees 2:14 In-Context

12 And behold, our holy place, our beauty, and our glory have been laid waste; the Gentiles have profaned it.

13 Why should we live any longer?"

14 And Mattathias and his sons rent their clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourned greatly.

15 Then the king's officers who were enforcing the apostasy came to the city of Modein to make them offer sacrifice.

16 Many from Israel came to them; and Mattathias and his sons were assembled.
