1 Kings 13:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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.’ ”^{(A) 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. ¹⁹ Then the man of God^[b] went back with him and ate food and drank water in his house.
