18 2 Abraham receiveth three Angels into his house. 10 Isaac is promised again. 12 Sarah laugheth. 18 Christ is promised to all nations. 19 Abraham taught his family to know God. 21 The destruction of Sodom is declared unto Abraham. 23 Abraham prayeth for them.

¹ Again the Lord ^(A)appeared unto him in the ^[a]plain of Mamre, as he sat in his tent door about the heat of the day.

² And he lifted up his eyes, and looked: and lo, three ^[b]men stood by him, and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the ground.

³ And he said, ^[c]Lord, if I have now found favor in thy sight, go not, I pray thee, from thy servant.

⁴ Let a little water, I pray you, be brought, and ^[d]wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.

⁵ And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may comfort your hearts, afterward ye shall go your ways: for therefore are ye ^[e]come to your servant. And they said, Do even as thou hast said.

⁶ Then Abraham made haste into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready at once three ^[f]measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.

⁷ And Abraham ran to the beasts, and took a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant, who hasted to make it ready.

⁸ And he took butter and milk, and the calf which he had prepared, and set before them, and stood himself by them under the tree: and ^[g]they did eat.

⁹ ¶ Then they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he answered, Behold, she is in the tent.

¹⁰ And he said, ^(B)I will certainly come again unto thee according to the time of ^[h]life: and lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son: and Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.

³⁸ ¶ ^[a]Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain town, and a certain woman named Martha, received him into her house.

³⁹ And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his preaching.

⁴⁰ But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Master, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore, that she help me.

⁴¹ And Jesus answered, and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou carest, and art troubled about many things:

⁴² But one thing is needful, Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
