And Raphael the angel answered: Dost thou seek the family of him thou hirest, or the hired servant himself to go with thy son?
18
But lest I should make thee uneasy, I am Azarias the son of the great Ananias.
19
And Tobias answered: Thou art of a great family. But I pray thee be not angry that I desired to know thy family.
20
And the angel said to him: I will lead thy son safe, and bring him to thee again safe.
21
And Tobias answering, said: May you have a good journey, and God be with you in your way, and his angel accompany you.
22
Then all things being ready, that were to be carried in their journey, Tobias bade his father and his mother farewell, and they set out both together.
23
And when they were departed, his mother began to weep, and to say: Thou hast taken the staff of our old age, and sent him away from us.
24
I wish the money for which thou hast sent him, had never been.
25
For poverty was sufficient for us, that we might account it as riches, that we saw our son.
26
And Tobias said to her: Weep not, our son will arrive thither safe, and will return safe to us, and thy eyes shall see him.
27
For I believe that the good angel of God doth accompany him, and doth order all things well that are done about him, so that he shall return to us with joy.
