Genesis 19:1-11 and Matthew 12:38-45 (NIV)

Genesis 19:1-11
1    The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground.
2    My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.”  “No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.”
3    But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate.
4    Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house.
5    They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”
6    Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7    and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing.
8    Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”
9    “Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
10  But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door.
11  Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door.



Matthew 12:38-45
38  Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
39  He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 
40  For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 
41  The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here. 
42  The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here.
43  “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 
44  Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 
45  Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
