He said to him, “I too am a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’ ” (He was lying to him.)

Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.”

And the angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”
