1After these things Tobias also went his way, blessing God because he had prospered his journey; and he blessed Raguel and Edna his wife. Then he went on his way until they drew near to Nineveh. 2Raphael said to Tobias, “Don’t you know, brother, how you left your father? 3Let’s run forward before your wife, and prepare the house. 4But take in your hand the bile of the fish.” So they went their way, and the dog went after them.
5Anna sat looking around toward the path for her son. 6She saw him coming, and said to his father, “Behold, your son is coming with the man that went with him!”
7Raphael said, “I know, Tobias, that your father will open his eyes. 8Therefore anoint his eyes with the bile, and being pricked with it, he will rub, and will make the white films fall away. Then he will see you.”
9Anna ran to him, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said to him, “I have seen you, my child! I am ready to die.” They both wept.
10Tobit went toward the door and stumbled; but his son ran to him, 11and took hold of his father. He rubbed the bile on his father’s eyes, saying, “Cheer up, my father.” 12When his eyes began to hurt, he rubbed them. 13Then the white films peeled away from the corners of his eyes; and he saw his son, and fell upon his neck.
14He wept, and said, “Blessed are you, O God, and blessed is your name forever! Blessed are all your holy angels! 15For you scourged, and had mercy on me. 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.
16Tobit went out to meet his daughter-in-law at the gate of Nineveh, rejoicing and blessing God. Those who saw him go marveled, because he had received his sight. 17Tobit gave thanks before them, because God had shown mercy on him. When Tobit came near to Sarah his daughter-in-law, he blessed her, saying, “Welcome, daughter! Blessed is God who has brought you to us, and blessed are your father and your mother.” And there was joy among all his kindred who were at Nineveh. 18Achiacharus and Nasbas his brother’s son came. 19Tobias’ wedding feast was kept seven days with great gladness.
