1 Maccabees 2:65-67

Good News Translation

⁶⁵ Your brother Simon is wise, so always listen to him as you would to me. ⁶⁶ Judas Maccabeus has been strong all his life; he will be your commander and will lead you in battle against the enemy. ⁶⁷ Call everyone who obeys God's Law to rally around you; then avenge the wrongs done to your people.
