4 Maccabees 6:4-6
Common English Bible
4 while an official kept calling out, “Obey the king’s orders!” 5 But Eleazar was dignified and generous. He experienced the truth of his name[a] and seemed like a person being tortured only in a dream. He didn’t change his resolve in any way. 6 The old man kept his eyes raised toward heaven while the whips tore into his flesh, ripped his sides, and made his blood flow.
