Genesis 18:3-4 "Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree,5. while I fetch a morsel of bread, that you may refresh yourselves"
AELW3:184
"Nevertheless, this precept concerning hospitality pertains chiefly to those whom Christ (Matt. 25:40) calls “the least.” For wherever the Word is, there Satan, the enemy, is stirring up physical and spiritual persecutions. In Paradise itself he was unable to rest until he drove Adam with his Eve into exile. Therefore we must be ready to give comfort to the brethren. Those who are afflicted by spiritual persecution should be comforted and strengthened with the Word; but those who are afflicted by physical persecution should be assisted with bread and water, that is, with love and hospitality, everyone according to his need."
