19. even though we have fodder and straw for our donkeys, as well as bread and wine for my concubine and me and for my servant. We have everything we need.”
20. The old man said, “You are welcome in my home! I'll take care of you; you don't have to spend the night in the square.”
21. So he took them home with him and fed their donkeys. His guests washed their feet and had a meal.
