1 After these things Tobias went his way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineveh.
·
2 Then Raphael said to Tobias, Dost thou not know, brother, how thou didst leave thy father?
·
3 let us hasten before thy wife, and prepare the house;
·
4 and take in thy hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them.
·
5 Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.
·
6 And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.
·
7 Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes.
·
8 Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and the whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see thee.
·
9 Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, from henceforth I am content to die. And they wept both.
·
10 Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled: but his son ran unto him,
·
11 and took hold of his father: and he strake of the gall on his father’s eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father.
·
12 And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them;
·
13 and the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his eyes: and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck.
·
14 And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name forever; and blessed are all thy holy angels:
·
15 for thou hast scourged, and hast taken pity [on me]: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.
·
16 Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter-in-law at the gate of Nineveh, rejoicing, and praising God: and they which saw him go marveled, because he had received his sight.
·
17 But Tobit gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sarah his daughter-in-law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and [blessed be] thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineveh.
·
18 And Ahikar, and Nadab his brother’s son, came:
·
19 and Tobias’ wedding was kept seven days with great joy.
