1And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;[ † ]Genesis 13:18Genesis 14:13 2and he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them , he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,[ † ]Genesis 18:16-22Genesis 32:24Joshua 5:13Judges 13:6-11Hebrews 13:2Genesis 19:11 Peter 4:9 3and said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 4let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:[ † ]Genesis 19:2Genesis 24:32Genesis 43:24 5and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant.

9And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.[ † ]Genesis 24:67 10And 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.[ † ]2 Kings 4:16Genesis 17:19-21Genesis 21:2Romans 9:9 11Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.[ † ]Genesis 17:17Luke 1:18Romans 4:19Hebrews 11:11-12, 19Genesis 31:35 12Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?[ † ]Genesis 17:17Luke 1:181 Peter 3:6 13And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? 14Is any thing too hard for the Lord ?
