September 20, 2013 – 2 Maccabees 4 – 4:22

I am having a hard time determining when this was written and about what time. It talks about someone making Jason the high priest, which sounds like when the Romans were making Judas and his brothers high priest. It doesn’t sound like Jason is cut from the same cloth as Judas and his brothers, but it is unclear as to what happened to John, the son of Simon. I have to look more into when 2 Maccabees was written.
