1 Kings 13:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ “I can’t go home with you,” the man of God answered. “I can’t eat or drink with you in this place. ¹⁷ The Lord said to me, ‘Don’t eat or drink anything there or return on the same road by which you came.’”

¹⁸ Then the old prophet said, “But I also am a prophet like you.” Then he told a lie. He said, “An angel from the Lord came to me and told me to bring you to my home. He said you should eat and drink with me.”
