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 who 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 stroked 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 peeled 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.
