15 Alors il lui dit: Viens avec moi à la maison, et tu prendras quelque nourriture.

16 Mais il répondit: Je ne puis ni retourner avec toi, ni entrer chez toi. Je ne mangerai point de pain, je ne boirai point d’eau avec toi en ce lieu-ci;

17 car il m’a été dit, par la parole de l’Éternel: Tu n’y mangeras point de pain et tu n’y boiras point d’eau, et tu ne prendras pas à ton retour le chemin par lequel tu seras allé.

18 Et il lui dit: Moi aussi, je suis prophète comme toi; et un ange m’a parlé de la part de l’Éternel, et m’a dit: Ramène-le avec toi dans ta maison, et qu’il mange du pain et boive de l’eau. Il lui mentait.
