Your statement is incorrect.
Rome itself did not include the false book Maccabees until 1,400 years after Christ.
Christ didn’t accept it ever.
The Jews didn’t accept it.
Maccabees contains a huge falsehood about paying for sins with money.
Offering and worshiping for the forgiveness of sins:
“after this he took a collection from them individually, amounting to nearly two thousand drachmas, and sent it to Jerusalem to have a sacrifice for sin offered, an action altogether fine and noble, prompted by his belief in the resurrection. For had he not expected the fallen to rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead, whereas if he had in view the splendid recompense reserved for those who make a pious end, the thought was holy and devout. Hence, he had this expiatory sacrifice offered for the dead, so that they might be released from their sin.”
(2Maccabbees 12.43-45).
As such it contradicts the inspired Scriptures, which teaches sin is forgiven entirely through accepting the sacrifice of Christ alone - apart from works and rituals.
You should really read more church history. Maccabees was indeed accepted and used in the liturgy of the early church. It was included in the Septuagint Old Testament which was the version used by the early church. Its inclusion in the Bible was definitively affirmed both by a series of North African councils and Pope Damasus I in the late 4th century.
Christ didn’t accept it ever.
The Jews didn’t accept it.
The biblical quotes of our Lord in the New Testament are taken from the Septuagint, a 3rd century Greek translation of the Old Testament made by Jewish scholars in Alexandria. Maccabees and the other deuterocanonical books of the Septuagint were only rejected by Jewish authorities in the Late Antiquity after Christ. Of course, at the time they also rejected the entire New Testament.
