12 Then there assembled to Alcimus and Bacchides, a congregation of scribes, to seek just terms.
13 And first, the Hasideans, who were among the sons of Israel, also sought peace from them.
14 For they said, 'A man who is a priest from the offspring of Aaron has arrived; he will not deceive us.'
15 And he spoke to them peaceful words, and he swore to them, saying, 'We will not carry out any evil against you or your friends.'
