God’s Word Translation
1 Kings 13:14-21
14He went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree. The old prophet asked him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” “Yes,” he answered.
15“Come home with me, and eat a meal,” the old prophet replied.
16The man of God said, “I’m not allowed to go back with you. I’m not allowed to eat or drink with you.
17When the Lord spoke to me, he told me not to eat or drink there or go back on the road I took to get there.”
18The old prophet said, “I’m also a prophet, like you. An angel spoke the Lord’s word to me. He said, ‘Bring him home with you so that he may have something to eat and drink.’ ” (But the old prophet was lying.)
19The man of God went back with him and ate and drank in his home.
20When they were sitting at the table, the Lord spoke his word to the old prophet who had brought back the man of God.
21The Lord also called to the man of God. He said, “This is what the Lord says: You rebelled against the words from the Lord’s mouth and didn’t obey the command that the Lord your God gave you.
