1 Kings 13:11-17 ▼

11 And there dwelt an olde prophet in Bethel, and his sonnes came and tolde him al the workes that the man of God had done that day in Bethel, and the wordes which he had spoken vnto the king tolde they their father also.

12 And their father sayde vnto them: What way went he? And his sonnes shewed him what way the man of God went which came from Iuda.

13 And he saide vnto his sonnes: Saddle me the asse. Which when they had saddled, he gat him vp thereon,

14 And went after the man of God, and founde him sytting vnder a tree, and he said vnto him: Art thou the man of God that camest from Iuda? And he sayde, I am.

15 He sayde vnto him: Come home with me, and eate bread.

16 He aunswered: I may not returne with thee, to go in with thee: neither wyl I eate bread, or drinke water with thee in this place.

17 For it was saide to me in the word of the Lord: Thou shalt eate no bread, nor drinke water there, nor turne againe to go by the way that thou camest.
