1 Kings 13:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ But the man of God said to the king, “If you give me half your kingdom, I will not go in with you; nor will I eat food or drink water in this place. ⁹ For thus I was commanded by the word of the Lord: You shall not eat food, or drink water, or return by the way that you came.” ¹⁰ So he went another way, and did not return by the way that he had come to Bethel.
