John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Genesis 18:17

Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do — Thus doth God in his councils express himself after the manner of men, with deliberation. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him. Those that by faith live a life of communion with God, cannot but know more of his mind than other people. They have a better insight into what is present, and a better foresight of what is to come.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Genesis 18:17

And the (h) LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
