Maccabees 1
Storyboard Text
- 24 When Mattathias saw him, he became angry enough to do what had to be done. Shaking with rage, he ran forward and killed the man right there on the altar. 25 He also killed the royal official who was forcing the people to sacrifice, and then he tore down the altar.
- 42 Then Mattathias and his friends were joined by a group of devout and patriotic Jews, the strongest and bravest men in Israel, who had all volunteered to defend the Law. 43 In addition, everyone who was fleeing from the persecution joined them and strengthened their forces.
- 27 Then Mattathias went through the town shouting, Everyone who is faithful to God's covenant and obeys his Law, follow me!
- 32 A large force of soldiers pursued them, caught up with them, set up camp opposite them, and prepared to attack them on the Sabbath.33 There is still time, they shouted out to the Jews.Come out and obey the king's command, and we will spare your lives.34 We will not come out, they answered.We will not obey the king's command, and we will not profane the Sabbath.
- 39 When Mattathias and his friends heard the news about this, they were greatly saddened 40 and said to one another,If all of us do as these other Jews have done and refuse to fight the Gentiles to defend our lives and our religion, we will soon be wiped off the face of the earth. 41 On that day they decided that if anyone attacked them on the Sabbath, they would defend themselves, so that they would not all die as other Jews had died in the caves.
