In context
2And first, they stripped the old man, adorned as he was with the comeliness of piety.
3Then tying back his arms and hands, they disdainfully used him with stripes;
— 4 Maccabees 6:4 —
5But Eleazar, the high-minded and truly noble, as one tortured in a dream, regarded it not at all.
6But raising his eyes on high to heaven, the old man’s flesh was stripped off by the scourges, and his blood streamed down, and his sides were pierced through.
