Stories abound about people who have been shown kindness by a mysterious stranger. Our minds tease us with ideas of their origin.  Verses like 13:2 fan the flames of imagination.   Have we really entertained angels without knowing it?

Don’t read this chapter without reading 11. They were meant to go together, and they lose some of their meaning when separated.   If you are reading a chapter a day, at least scan through the hall of heroes before you read verse 12:1.
