18:6  And  Abraham  hastened  into  the  tent  unto  Sarah,  and  said,  Make ready  quickly  three  measures  of  fine  meal,  knead  it,  and  make  cakes  upon the hearth. 18:7  And  Abraham  ran  unto  the  herd,  and  fetcht  a  calf  tender  and  good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. 18:8  And  he  took  butter,  and  milk,  and  the  calf  which  he  had  dressed,  and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. 18:9  And  they  said  unto  him,  Where  is  Sarah  thy  wife?  And  he  said, Behold, in the tent. 18:10  And  he  said,  I  will  certainly  return  unto  thee  according  to  the  time of  life;  and,  lo,  Sarah  thy  wife  shall  have  a  son.  And  Sarah  heard  it  in  the tent door, which was behind him. 18:11  Now  Abraham  and  Sarah  were  old  and  well  stricken  in  age;  and  it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 18:12  Therefore  Sarah  laughed  within  herself,  saying,  After  I  am  waxed old  shall  I  have  pleasure,  my  lord  being  old  also?  18:13  And  the  LORD  said unto  Abraham,  Wherefore  did  Sarah  laugh,  saying,  Shall  I  of  a  surety  bear  a child, which am old? 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed  I  will  return  unto  thee,  according  to  the  time  of  life,  and  Sarah shall have a son. 18:15  Then  Sarah  denied,  saying,  I  laughed  not;  for  she  was  afraid.  And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh. 18:16  And  the  men  rose  up  from  thence,  and  looked  toward  Sodom:  and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 18:17  And  the  LORD  said,  Shall  I  hide  from  Abraham  that  thing  which  I do;  18:18  Seeing  that  Abraham  shall  surely  become  a  great  and  mighty nation,  and  all  the  nations  of  the  earth  shall  be  blessed  in  him?  18:19  For  I know  him,  that  he  will  command  his  children  and  his  household  after  him, and  they  shall  keep  the  way  of  the  LORD,  to  do  justice  and  judgment;  that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. 18:20  And  the  LORD  said,  Because  the  cry  of  Sodom  and  Gomorrah  is great,  and  because  their  sin  is  very  grievous;  18:21  I  will  go  down  now,  and see  whether  they  have  done  altogether  according  to  the  cry  of  it,  which  is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
