2-23. Manoah Meets Christ—Manoah and his wife knew not that the One thus addressing them was Jesus Christ. They looked upon Him as the Lord’s messenger, but whether a prophet or an angel, they were at a loss to determine. Wishing to manifest hospitality toward their guest, they entreated Him to remain while they should prepare for Him a kid. But in their ignorance of His character, they knew not whether to offer it for a burnt-offering or to place it before Him as food.{2BC 1006.1}

2-23. Manoa møder Kristus. - Manoa og hans hustru vidste de ikke at Den der henvendte sig til dem var Jesus Kristus. De så på Ham som Herrens budbringer, men uanset om han var profet eller en engel var de rådvilde. Idet de ønskede at udvise gæstfrihed imod deres gæst, bad de Ham indstændigt at forblive der, medens de skulle tilberede et kid til Ham. Men i deres uvidenhed om Hans karakter, vidste de ikke om den skulle ofre det for et brænd offer, eller bringe det for Ham som mad.
