Holy Scripture
Genesis 18:2
A church father on this verse
“But let us now, meanwhile, pursue what Abraham does with the three men who "stood before him." Behold what sort of expression this is itself, that they come "before him," not against him. He had, to be sure, subjected himself to the will of God; therefore God is said to stand "before him."”
