1 Kings 13:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁶ But he said, “I cannot return with you or go in with you, nor will I eat food or drink water with you in this place,^{(A) 17} for it was said to me by the word of the Lord, ‘You shall not eat food or drink water there or return by the way that you came.’ ”^{(B) 18} Then the other^[a] said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, ‘Bring him back with you into your house so that he may eat food and drink water.’ ” But he was deceiving him.
