"Choosing to die nobly rather than to fall into the hands of the wicked, and to suffer abuses unbecoming his noble birth."
Nel contesto
40For he thought by insnaring him to hurt the Jews very much.
41Now as the multitude sought to rush into his house, and to break open the door, and to set fire to it, when he was ready to be taken, he struck himself with his sword:
42Choosing to die nobly rather than to fall into the hands of the wicked, and to suffer abuses unbecoming his noble birth.
43But whereas through haste he missed of giving himself a sure wound, and the crowd was breaking into the doors, he ran boldly to the wall, and manfully threw himself down to the crowd:
44But they quickly making room for his fall, he came upon the midst of the neck.
