Â His guests in turn, promise him that he and his wife Sarah, in spite of their advanced years, would have a son by this time next year.
In this Sunday’s episode, two of the men move on. Â The third, now revealed as the Lord, decides to tell Abraham the purpose of this journey. Â The people of Sodom have been accused of serious sins.
