15Then hee said vnto him, Come home with me, and eate bread. 16And he said, I may not returne with thee, nor goe in with thee: neither will I eat bread, nor drinke water with thee in this place. 17For it was said to mee by 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. 18He said vnto him, I am a prophet also as thou art, and an angel spake vnto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him backe with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread, and drinke water: But he lied vnto him. 19So he went backe with him, and did eate bread in his house, and dranke water.
