But he begged them, so they turned aside with him and went into his house. And he made a supper for them. He made bread without yeast, and they ate.

See, I have two daughters who have never had a man. Let me bring them out to you. And do to them whatever you want. But do nothing to these men, for they have come to be safe under my roof."

But they said, "Get out of our way. This man came to live here from another land. And already he acts like a judge. Now we will do worse things to you than to them." So they pushed hard against Lot and almost broke down the door.

But the two men put out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.

So Lot went out to speak to his sons-in-law who were to marry his daughters. He said, "Get up! Get out of this place! For the Lord will destroy the city!" But his sons-in-law thought he was only joking.

But Lot was slow to move. So the men took him, his wife and two daughters by the hand and brought them out of the city. For the Lord had loving-pity for him.

But Lot said to them, "O, no, my lords!

See, your servant has found favor in your eyes. You have shown me great kindness in what you have done for me by saving my life. But I cannot run to the mountains. For I will run into danger and die.

And it is true she is my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not of my mother. And she became my wife.

But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian make fun of Isaac. Abraham was the father of Hagar's son.

But God said to Abraham, "Do not be full of sorrow because of the boy and the woman who serves you. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you. For your children and all their children's children after you will be given a name through Isaac.

But I will also make a nation of the son of the woman who serves you, because he is your son."

But God heard the voice of the boy. Then the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said, "Why are you so troubled, Hagar? Do not be afraid. For God has heard the cry of the boy.

But Abraham spoke to Abimelech about a well of water that the servants of Abimelech had taken.

Then Isaac said to Abraham, "My father!" Abraham answered, "Here I am, my son." Isaac said, "See, here is the fire and the wood. But where is the lamb for the burnt gift?"
