Susanna 16-18

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁶ No one was there except the two elders, who had hidden themselves and were watching her. ¹⁷ She said to her maids, “Bring me olive oil and ointments, and shut the garden doors so that I can bathe.”^{(A) 18} They did as she told them: they shut the doors of the garden and went out by the side doors to bring what they had been commanded; they did not see the elders because they were hiding.^(B)
