Genesis 19:1-5 ▼

1 The two angels entered Sodom at sunset while Lot was sitting in the gate area of the city. When Lot saw them, he got up, greeted them, bowed low with his face to the ground,

2 and said, |Look, my lords! Please come inside your servant's house, wash your feet, and spend the night. Then you can get up early and be on your way.| But they responded, |No, we would rather spend the night in the town square.|

3 But Lot kept urging them strongly, so they turned aside and entered his house. He prepared a festival and baked unleavened flat bread for them, and they ate.

4 Before they could lie down, all the men of Sodom and its outskirts, both young and old, surrounded the house.

5 They called out to Lot and asked, |Where are the men who came to visit you tonight? Bring them out to us so we can have sex with them!|
