Lalu jawabnya kepadanya: "Akupun seorang nabi juga seperti engkau, dan atas perintah TUHAN seorang malaikat telah berkata kepadaku: Bawa dia pulang bersama-sama engkau ke rumahmu, supaya ia makan roti dan minum air." Tetapi ia berbohong kepadanya.
Maka kata orang itu kepadanya: Bahwa aku juga seorang nabi sama seperti engkau, maka seorang malaekat sudah berpesan kepadaku oleh firman Tuhan demikian: Bawalah balik akan dia sertamu sampai ke dalam rumahmu, supaya dimakannya roti dan diminumnya air. Maka dalam itupun mendustai dia.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said unto him,.... That is, the old prophet said to the man of God:
I am a prophet also as thou art; meaning, that he was a prophet of the true God, and not of any idol deity; that he not only believed in him, and was a worshipper of him, but had revelations from him, and of the same things this man of God had, and that he believed that what he had prophesied of would certainly come to pass:
and an angel spoke unto me by the word of the Lord; was sent and dispatched by the order of the Lord with the following message:
saying, bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water; and so be refreshed, and be fit to proceed on in his journey:
[but] he lied unto him; no messenger nor message being sent to him by the Lord, but was wholly a device and stratagem of his own to persuade the man of God to return with him, that he might have his company and conversation.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
But he lied unto him - It is always to be remembered that the prophetic gift might co-exist with various degrees of moral imperfection in the person possessing it. Note especially the case of Balaam.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 13:18. An angel spake unto me — That he lied unto him is here expressly asserted, and is amply proved by the event. But why should he deceive him? The simple principle of curiosity to know all about this prediction, and the strange facts which had taken place, of which he had heard at second hand by means of his sons, was sufficient to induce such a person to get the intelligence he wished by any means. We may add to this, that, as he found the man of God sitting under an oak, probably faint with fatigue and fasting, for he had had no refreshment, his humanity might have led him to practise this deception, in order to persuade him to take some refreshment. Having fallen from God, as I have supposed, 1 Kings 13:11, his own tenderness of conscience was gone; and he would not scruple to do a moral evil, if even a temporal good could come of it. Again, is it not possible that the old prophet was himself deceived? for, though he lied unto him, it is possible that he was not conscious of his lie, for Satan, as an angel of light, might have deceived him in order to lead him to deceive the other. He does not say, as the man of God did, It was said to me by the word of the Lord; no: but, An angel spake unto me by the word of the Lord. And I think it very likely that an angel did appear to him on the occasion; an angel of darkness and idolatry, in the garb of an angel of light, who wished to use him as an instrument to bring discredit on the awful transactions which had lately taken place, and to destroy him who had foretold the destruction of his power and influence.
