- Nay:
- Instead of lo, nay, some manuscripts have lo, to him. "And they said unto him, for we lodge in the street;" where, nevertheless, the negation is understood. Knowing the disposition of the inhabitants, and appearing in the character of mere travellers, they preferred the open street to any house; but not yet willing to make themselves known, as Lot pressed them vehemently, and as they knew him to be a righteous man, they consented to take shelter under his hospitable roof. "And when he had lifted upª° his eyes,ª he sawª°¹ a wayfaringª° manª in the streetª of the city:ª and the oldª manª said,ª° Whither¹¹ goest²°¹ thou? and whenceª¹ comestª° thou? ... So he broughtª° him into his house,ª and gave provenderª° unto the asses:ª and they washedª° their feet,ª and did eatª° and drink.ª°" {Jdg 19:17-21} + "Andª they drew nighª° untoª the¹ village,ª whitherª they went:ª° andª heª made as thoughª° he would have goneª° further.ª ... Butª they constrainedª° him,ª saying,ª° Abideª° withª us:ª forª it isª° towardª evening,ª andª the¹ dayª is far spent.ª° Andª he went inª° to tarryª° withª them.ª" {Lke 24:28-29} + "Andª whenª she was baptized,ª° andª her²¹ household,ª she besoughtª° [us], saying,ª° Ifª ye have judgedª° meª to beª° faithfulª to the¹ Lord,ª comeª° intoª myª house,ª and abideª° [there]. Andª she constrainedª° us.ª" {Act 16:15}
