Jonathan Eats Honey

²⁴ Now the Israelites were in distress that day, because Saul had bound the people under an oath,^(A) saying, “Cursed be anyone who eats food before evening comes, before I have avenged myself on my enemies!” So none of the troops tasted food.

²⁶ When they went into the woods, they saw the honey oozing out; yet no one put his hand to his mouth, because they feared the oath.

⁶⁷ “If you are the Messiah,” they said, “tell us.”

Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me, ⁶⁸ and if I asked you, you would not answer.^{(A) 69} But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.”^(B)

⁷⁰ They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?”^(C)

He replied, “You say that I am.”^(D)

⁷¹ Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips.”
