Luther removed those problematic books from the Protestant canon.

The books of the Maccabees were never part of the Hebrew scriptural canon.

The books of the Maccabees were never part of the Hebrew scriptural canon.

There was no Hebrew canon in Jesus' time. Various groups used different collections of Scripture. The Saducees only accepted the Torah. Jesus and the Apostles refer to the Septuagint in the New Testament.
