Tobias and Raphael at the Tigris River
2 So their son departed, with the angel alongside him. Tobias' dog also went with him and accompanied them on the journey. They both journeyed until the first night fell upon them, and they set up camp along the Tigris River.
3
Now the lad went down to the Tigris River to wash his feet. Suddenly, a massive fish leaped up out of the water and tried to swallow the lad's foot, and he cried out.
4
The angel said to him, "Grab the fish and hang on to it." So Tobias hung on to the fish and brought it up onto the dry ground.
5
The angel said to him, "Cut open the fish and remove its gallbladder, heart, and liver and keep them with you, and throw away the guts. Its gallbladder, heart, and liver are useful medicines."
6
So Tobias cut open the fish and gathered up the gallbladder, heart, and liver. He cooked the fish and ate it; and the remaining part of it, which he salted, he put aside. Then they both journeyed together until they approached Media.
7
Tobias asked the angel, "Brother Azariah, what medicine is there in the fish's heart, liver, and gallbladder?"
8
Raphael replied, "If you burn the fish's heart and liver in the presence of a man or woman under attack by a demon or evil spirit, the spirit will flee and never bother that person again.
9
As for the gallbladder, if you smear the gall on a person's eyes in which white spots have appeared, and then blow on the white spots, the eyes will heal."
