2 Maccabees 15:14

14 Then Onias answered, saying, This is a lover of the brethren, who prayeth much for the people and for the holy city, to wit, Jeremiah the prophet of God.

2 Maccabees 15:14 In-Context

12 And this was his vision: that Onias, who had been high priest, a virtuous and a good man, revered in manner of living, gentle in disposition, well-spoken also, and exercised from a child on all points of virtue, holding up his hands prayed for the whole body of the Jews.
13 This done, in like manner there appeared a man with gray hair, and exceeding glorious, who was of a wonderful and excellent majesty.
14 Then Onias answered, saying, This is a lover of the brethren, who prayeth much for the people and for the holy city, to wit, Jeremiah the prophet of God.
15 Thereupon Jeremiah, holding forth his right hand, gave to Judas a sword of gold, and in giving it spoke thus:
16 Take this holy sword, a gift from God, with which thou shalt wound the adversaries.
