New Testament

Hebrews 11:32-37 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

32. And what should I say next? For time is not sufficient for me to give an account of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the Prophets:

33. those who, by faith, conquered kingdoms, accomplished justice, obtained promises, closed the mouths of lions,

34. extinguished the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered from infirmities, showed strength in battle, turned back the armies of foreigners.

35. Women received their dead by means of resurrection. But others suffered severe punishment, not yet receiving redemption, so that they would find a better resurrection.

36. Truly, others were tested by mocking and lashes, and moreover by chains and imprisonment.

37. They were stoned; they were cut; they were tempted. With the slaughter of the sword, they were killed. They wandered about in sheepskin and in goatskin, in dire need, in anguish afflicted.
