Genesis 19:1–20:18
1And the two angels came to Sodom at evening. And Lot sat by the gate of Sodom, and Lot having seen them, rose up to meet them, and he worshipped with his face to the ground, and said, 2Behold! [my] lords, turn aside to the house of your servant, and rest from your journey, and wash your feet, and having risen early in the morning you⌃ shall depart on your journey. And they said, Nay, but we will lodge in the street. 3And he constrained them, and they turned aside to him, and they entered into his house, and he made a feast for them, and baked unleavened cakes for them, and they did eat. 4But before they went to sleep, the men of the city, the Sodomites, compassed the house, both young and old, all the people together. 5And they called out Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that went in to you this night? bring them out to us that we may be with them. 6And Lot went out to them to the porch, and he shut the door after him, 7and said to them, By no means, brethren, do not act villanously. 8But I have two daughters, who have not known a man. I will bring them out to you, and do you⌃ use them as it may please you, only do not injury to these men, to avoid which they came under the shelter of my roof. 9And they said to him, Stand back there, you came in to sojourn, was it also to judge? Now then we would harm you more than them. And they pressed hard on the man, even Lot, and they drew near to break the door. 10And the men stretched forth their hands and drew Lot in to them into the house, and shut the door of the house. 11And they struck the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, and they were wearied with seeking the door. 12And the men said to Lot, Have you here sons-in-law, or sons or daughters, or if you have any other friend in the city, bring them out of this place. 13For we are going to destroy this place; for their cry has been raised up before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it. 14And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law who had married his daughters, and said, Rise up, and depart out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city; but he seemed to be speaking absurdly before his sons-in-law. 15But when it was morning, the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise and take your wife, and your two daughters whom you have, and go forth; lest you also be destroyed with the iniquities of the city. 16And they were troubled, and the angels laid hold on his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, in that the Lord spared him. 17And it came to pass when they brought them out, that they said, Save your own life by all means; look not round to that which is behind, nor stay in all the country round about, escape to the mountain, lest perhaps you be overtaken together with them. 18And Lot said to them, I pray, Lord, 19since your servant has found mercy before you, and you have magnified your righteousness, in what you do towards me that my soul may live, —but I shall not be able to escape to the mountain, lest perhaps the calamity overtake me and I die. 20Behold this city is near for me to escape there, which is a small one, and there shall I be preserved, is it not little? and my soul shall live because of you. 21And he said to him, Behold, I have had respect to you also about this thing, that I should not overthrow the city about which you have spoken. 22Hasten therefore to escape there, for I shall not be able to do anything until you are come there; therefore he called the name of that city, Segor. 23The sun was risen upon the earth, when Lot entered into Segor. 24And the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. 25And he overthrew these cities, and all the country round about, and all that lived in the cities, and the plants springing out of the ground. 26And his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. 27And Abraam rose up early to go to the place, where he had stood before the Lord. 28And he looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and towards the surrounding country, and saw, and behold a flame went up from the earth, as the smoke of a furnace. 29And it came to pass that when God destroyed all the cities of the region round about, God remembered Abraam, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when the Lord overthrew those cities in which Lot lived. 30And Lot went up out of Segor, and lived in the mountain, he and his two daughters with him, for he feared to dwell in Segor; and he lived in a cave, he and his two daughters with him. 31And the elder said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is no one on the earth who shall come in to us, as it is fit in all the earth. 32Come and let us make our father drink wine, and let us sleep with him, and let us raise up seed from our father. 33So they made their father drink wine in that night, and the elder went in and lay with her father that night, and he knew not when he slept and when he rose up. 34And it came to pass on the morrow, that the elder said to the younger, Behold, I slept yesternight with our father, let us make him drink wine in this night also, and do you go in and sleep with him, and let us raise up seed of our father. 35So they made their father drink wine in that night also, and the younger went in and slept with her father, and he knew not when he slept, nor when he arose. 36And the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father. 37And the elder bore a son and called his name Moab, saying, [He is] of my father. This is the father of the Moabites to this present day. 38And the younger also bore a son, and called his name Amman, saying, The son of my family. This is the father of the Ammanites to this present day. Chapter 201And Abraam removed thence to the southern country, and lived between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara. 2And Abraam said concerning Sarrha his wife, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the city should kill him for her sake. So Abimelech king of Gerara sent and took Sarrha. 3And God came to Abimelech by night in sleep, and said, Behold, you die for the woman, whom you have taken, whereas she has lived with a husband. 4But Abimelech had not touched her, and he said, Lord, will you destroy an ignorantly [sinning] and just nation? 5Said he not to me, She is my sister, and said she not to me, He is my brother? with a pure heart and in the righteousness of my hands have I done this. 6And God said to him in sleep, Yes, I knew that you did this with a pure heart, and I spared you, so that you should not sin against me, therefore I suffered you not to touch her. 7But now return the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and shall pray for you, and you shall live; but if you restore her not, know that you shall die and all your. 8And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and he spoke all these words in their ears, and all the men feared exceedingly. 9And Abimelech called Abraam and said to him, What is this that you have done to us? Have we sinned against you, that you have brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me a deed, which no one ought to do. 10And Abimelech said to Abraam, What have you seen in [me] that you have done this? 11And Abraam said, Why I said, Surely there is not the worship of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife. 12For truly she is my sister by my father, but not by my mother, and she became my wife. 13And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of the house of my father, that I said to her, This righteousness you shall perform to me, in every place into which we may enter, say of me, He is my brother. 14And Abimelech took a thousand pieces of silver, and sheep, and calves, and servants, and maidservants, and gave them to Abraam, and he returned him Sarrha his wife. 15And Abimelech said to Abraam, Behold, my land is before you, dwell wherever it may please you. 16And to Sarrha he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver, those shall be to you for the price of your countenance, and to all the women with you, and speak the truth in all things. 17And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children. 18Because the Lord had fast closed from without every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of Sarrha Abraam's wife.
PsalmSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Psalm 6:1–5
1For the End, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth. O Lord, rebuke me not in your wrath, neither chasten me in your anger. 2Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed. 3My soul also is grievously vexed: but you, O Lord, how long? 4Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for your mercy's sake. 5For in death no man remembers you: and who will give you thanks in Hades?
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 3:1–4
1[My] son, forget not my laws; but let your heart keep my words: 2for length of existence, and years of life, and peace, shall they add to you. 3Let not mercy and truth forsake you; but bind them about your neck: 4so shall you find favor: and do you provide things honest in the sight of the Lord, and of men.
New TestamentKing James Version
Matthew 8:1–17
1When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 3And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 5And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 9For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 13And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. 14And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever. 15And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. 16When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
