18And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
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,
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:
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. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
⁶And 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.
⁷And 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.
⁸And 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.
⁹And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
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.
¹¹Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
¹²Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
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? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Psalm 5

¹Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.
²Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
³My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
⁴For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
⁵The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
⁶Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
⁷But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
⁸Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
⁹For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
¹⁰Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
¹¹But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
¹²For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

⁶And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
⁷And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
⁸And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
⁹And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
