2 Maccabees 1 - Revised Version with Apocrypha 1885, 1895(RV1895)

1The brethren, the Jews that are in Jerusalem and they that are in the country of Judæa, send greeting to the brethren, the Jews that are throughout Egypt, and wish them good peace:

2And may God do good unto you, and pleasure with a great heart and a willing soul;

4And gate on fire, and shed innocent blood: and we besought the Lord, and were heard; and shewbread.

9And now see that ye keep the days of against us in the treasures forth, and he was come there with a small company within the wall of the precincts, they shut to the temple when Antiochus was come in:

16And opening the secret door of the panelled ceiling, they threw stones and struck down the prince, and they hewed him and his company in pieces, and smote off their heads, and cast them to those that were without.

17Blessed be our God in all things, who gave for a prey them that had committed impiety.

32And when this was done, a flame was kindled; but when the light from the altar shone over against it, all was consumed.

33And when the matter became known, and it was told the king of the Persians, that, in the place where the priests that were led away had hid the fire, there appeared the water, wherewith also Nehemiah and they that were with him purified the sacrifice,

34Then the king, inclosing the place, made it sacred, after he had proved the matter.

35And when the king would shew favour to any, he would take from them many presents and give them some of this water.

36And Nehemiah and they that were with him called this thing Nephthar, which is by interpretation, Cleansing; but most men call it Nephthai.
