4 Maccabees 4:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶ He said that he had come with the king’s authority to seize the private funds in the treasury. ⁷ The people indignantly protested against his words, considering it outrageous that those who had committed deposits to the sacred treasury should be deprived of them, and did all that they could to prevent it. ⁸ But, uttering threats, Apollonius went on to the temple.
