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 Nineve
2
Then Raphael said to Tobias Thou knowest brother how thou didst leave thy father
3
Let us haste before thy wife and prepare the house
4
And take in thine 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 thers’ 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 for ever and blessed are all thine 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 Nineve rejoicing and praising God and they which saw him go marvelled because he had received his sight
17
But Tobias gave thanks before them because God had mercy on him And when he came near to Sara 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 Nineve
18
And Achiacharus and Nasbas his other’s son came
19
And obias’ wedding was kept seven days with great joy
