5 But Eleazar, the high-minded and truly noble, as one tortured in a dream, regarded it not all.
6 But 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.
7 And falling upon the ground, from his body having no power to support the pains, he yet kept his reasoning upright and unbending.
8 then one of the harsh spearbearers leaped upon his belly as he was falling, to force him upright.
9 But he endured the pains, and despised the cruelty, and persevered through the indignities;
10 and like a noble athlete, the old man, when struck, vanquished his torturers.
11 His countenance sweating, and he panting for breath, he was admired by the very torturers for his courage.
