New Testament

Judges 19:19-24 New King James Version (NKJV)

19. although we have both straw and fodder for our donkeys, and bread and wine for myself, for your female servant, and for the young man who is with your servant; there is no lack of anything.”

20. And the old man said, “Peace be with you! However, let all your needs be my responsibility; only do not spend the night in the open square.”

21. So he brought him into his house, and gave fodder to the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.

22. As they were enjoying themselves, suddenly certain men of the city, perverted men, surrounded the house and beat on the door. They spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, “Bring out the man who came to your house, that we may know him carnally!”

23. But the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brethren! I beg you, do not act so wickedly! Seeing this man has come into my house, do not commit this outrage.

24. Look, here is my virgin daughter and the man’s concubine; let me bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them as you please; but to this man do not do such a vile thing!”
