2 Maccabees 15:14LXX

12Now the vision was in this manner: Onias who had been high priest, a good and virtuous man, modest in his looks, gentle in his manners, and graceful in his speech, and who from a child was exercised in virtues, holding up his hands, prayed for all the people of the Jews:

13After this there appeared also another man, admirable for age, and glory, and environed with great beauty and majesty:

14Then Onias answering, Raid: This is a lover of his brethren, and of the people of Israel: this is he that prayeth much for the people, and for all the holy city, Jeremias the prophet of God.

15Whereupon Jeremias stretched forth his right hand, and gave to Judas a sword of gold, saying:

16Take this holy sword a gift from God, wherewith thou shalt overthrow the adversaries of my people Israel.
