Genesis 19:1-10

The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening. Lot happened to be sitting at the entrance to Sodom, and when he saw them he stood up to meet them, and bowed low with his face to the ground. “Sirs, please come and stay with me for the night,” he said. “You can wash your feet and then be on your way early in the morning.” They replied, “No, it's fine. We'll spend the night here in the square.” But Lot insisted, and they went with him to his house. He made them a meal and baked bread for them to eat. But they hadn't even gone to bed before the men of Sodom, young and old, from every part of town, came and surrounded the house. They shouted out to Lot, “Where are the men who came to stay with you tonight? Bring them out here to us so we can have sex with them.” Lot went out to talk to them in the doorway, closing the door behind him. “My friends, please don't do such an evil thing! Listen, I've got two virgin daughters. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do to them whatever you want, but please don't do anything to these men. It's my responsibility to look after them.” “Out of our way!” they shouted. “Who do you think you are, coming to live here and now trying to judge us? We'll do even worse things to you than we were going to do to these men!” They rushed forward at Lot and tried to break down the door. But the men inside reached out and grabbed Lot, dragged him inside, and slammed the door shut.
