New Testament

1 Kings 13:15-20 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. And he said to him, "Come home with me, so that you may eat bread."

16. But he said: "I am not able to turn back, nor to go with you. Neither will I eat bread, or drink water in this place.

17. For the Lord has spoken to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, "You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water in that place, nor shall you return by the way that you arrived."

18. And he said to him: "I, too, am a prophet like you. And an Angel spoke to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, 'Lead him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread, and drink water.' " And so he deceived him.

19. And he led him back with him. Then he ate bread and drank water in his house.

20. And while they were sitting at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had led him back.
