New Testament

Judges 13:13-17 New International Version (NIV)

13. The angel of the Lord answered, “Your wife must do all that I have told her.

14. She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, nor drink any wine or other fermented drink nor eat anything unclean. She must do everything I have commanded her.”

15. Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “We would like you to stay until we prepare a young goat for you.”

16. The angel of the Lord replied, “Even though you detain me, I will not eat any of your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, offer it to the Lord.” (Manoah did not realize that it was the angel of the Lord.)

17. Then Manoah inquired of the angel of the Lord, “What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes true?”
