New Testament

1 Maccabees 3:57-60 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

57. So they moved the camp, and relocated to the south of Emmaus.

58. And Judas said: "Gird yourselves, and be sons of power, and be ready in the morning, so that you may fight against these nations that have assembled against us, so as to destroy us and our sacred things.

59. For it is better for us to die in battle, than to see evils come to our nation and to the sacred places.

60. Nevertheless, as it shall be willed in heaven, so let it be."
