Tobit 11:1-9

Tobias returns to Nineveh

1 When they approached Kaserin, which is across from Nineveh,
2 Raphael said, "You know how we left your father.
3 Let's run ahead of your wife and get the house ready while the rest are coming."
4 So they both went on together, and Raphael said, "Get the gallbladder ready." The dog came with them, still following behind.
5 Now Anna was sitting down and watching the road that her son had taken.
6 When she saw him coming, she said to her husband,"Look! Your son is coming, along with the man who went with him!"
7 Before Tobias reached his father, Raphael said to him, "I know that his eyes will be opened.
8 Smear the fish's gall on his eyes. The medicine will make the white spots shrink and peel away from his eyes. Then your father will regain his sight and see the light."
9 Anna jumped up and embraced her son, saying, "I see you, my child! Now I'm ready to die." She began to cry.
