New Testament

Genesis 19:4-10 New Living Translation (NLT)

4. But before they retired for the night, all the men of Sodom, young and old, came from all over the city and surrounded the house.

5. They shouted to Lot, “Where are the men who came to spend the night with you? Bring them out to us so we can have sex with them!”

6. So Lot stepped outside to talk to them, shutting the door behind him.

7. “Please, my brothers,” he begged, “don’t do such a wicked thing.

8. Look, I have two virgin daughters. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do with them as you wish. But please, leave these men alone, for they are my guests and are under my protection.”

9. “Stand back!” they shouted. “This fellow came to town as an outsider, and now he’s acting like our judge! We’ll treat you far worse than those other men!” And they lunged toward Lot to break down the door.

10. But the two angels reached out, pulled Lot into the house, and bolted the door.
