captain

,

straightway

knew

that

it

was

an

angel

of

the

Lord

that

spoke

.

Sarah

therefore

signified

to

Abraham

to

come

out

towards

the

door

,

and

said

to

him

,

My

Lord

Abraham

,

knowest

thou

who

this

man

is

?

Abraham

said

,

I

know

not

.

Sarah

said

,

Thou

knowest

,

my

Lord

,

the

three

men

from

heaven

that

were

entertained

by

us

in

our

tent

beside

the

oak

of

Mamre

,

when

thou

didst

kill

the

kid

without

blemish

,

and

set

a

table

before

them

.

After

the

flesh

had

been

eaten

,

the

kid

rose

again

,

and

sucked

its

mother

with

great

joy

.

Knowest

thou

not

,

my

Lord

Abraham

,

that

by

promise

they

gave

to

us

Isaac

as

the

fruit

of

the

womb

?

Of

these

three

holy

men

this

is

one

.

Abraham

said

,

O

Sarah

,

in

this

thou

speakest

the

truth

.

Glory

and

praise

from

our

God

and

the

Father

.

For

late

in

the

evening

when

I

washed

his

feet

in

the

basin

I

said

in

my

heart

,

These

are

the

feet

of

one

of

the

three

men

that

I

washed

then

;

and

his

tears

that

fell

into

the

basin

then

became

precious

stones

.

And

shaking

them

out

from

his

lap

he

gave

them

to

Sarah

,

saying

,

If

thou

believest

me

not

,

look

now

at

these

.

And

Sarah

receiving

them

bowed

down

and

saluted

and

said

,

Glory

be

to

God

that

showeth

us

wonderful

things

.

And

now

know

,

my

Lord

Abraham

,

that

there

is

among

us

the

revelation

of

some

thing

,

whether

it

be

evil

or

good

!
