The High Priest, on his part, feared that the king might suspect the Jews of some foul play against Heliodorus, so he offered a sacrifice for the man's recovery. (2 Maccabees 3, 32)
While the High Priest was offering the sacrifice of atonement, the same young men, clothed in the same way, again appeared to Heliodorus, and standing before him, said, "Thank Onias the High Priest, for through him the Lord grants you the grace of life. (2 Maccabees 3, 33)
There he began to bear witness to the works of the Most High God, which he had seen with his own eyes. (2 Maccabees 3, 36)
He himself who dwells in heaven watches over the place and defends it, striking to death those who come to profane it." (2 Maccabees 3, 39)
The Simon mentioned before as the informer about the treasures of the Temple, who was traitor to his country, spoke evil of Onias, accusing him of a plot against Heliodorus and saying that he was responsible for all the troubles. (2 Maccabees 4, 1)
The hostility between them reached such proportions that crimes were even committed by some of the supporters of Simon. (2 Maccabees 4, 3)
Onias recognized the dangers involved in such an unbearable rivalry. Even Apollonius, son of Menestheus, governor of Coele-Syria and Phoenicia, was instigating Simon to evil. (2 Maccabees 4, 4)
For he saw that it was impossible to maintain peace and stop the foolishness of Simon without the king's intervention. (2 Maccabees 4, 6)
When King Seleucus died, his son Antiochus who was called Epiphanes, succeeded to the throne. Then, Jason, the brother of Onias the High Priest, usurped the office of high priest. (2 Maccabees 4, 7)
In a conversation with the king, Jason promised three hundred and sixty talents of silver and eighty talents from other revenues. (2 Maccabees 4, 8)
He further committed himself to pay one hundred fifty more talents if he would be allowed to establish on his own account a gymnasium with a Center for the cultural advancement of the youth and if the statute of Antioquian citizenship could apply to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, as well. (2 Maccabees 4, 9)
He suppressed the privileges that kings had granted to the Jews through John, the father of Eupolemus, who had established friendship and an alliance between the Romans and the Jews. He overthrew lawful institutions and introduced new customs contrary to the Law. (2 Maccabees 4, 11)
