Then Tobias called to him his son, and said to him: What can we give to this holy man, that is come with thee?
2
Tobias answering, said to his father: Father, what wages shall we give him? or what can be worthy of his benefits?

He conducted me and brought me safe again, he received the money of Gabelus, he caused me to have my wife, and he chased from her the evil spirit, he gave joy to her parents, myself he delivered from being devoured by the fish, thee also he hath made to see the light of heaven, and we are filled with all good things through him. What can we give him sufficient for these things?
4

So the father and the son, calling him, took him aside: and began to desire him that he would vouchsafe to accept of half of all things that they had brought.
