Tobit 12:15-22

15 I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels who present the prayers of the saints and enter into the presence of the glory of the Holy One."

16 They were both alarmed; and they fell upon their faces, for they were afraid.

17 But he said to them, "Do not be afraid; you will be safe. But praise God for ever.

18 For I did not come as a favor on my part, but by the will of our God. Therefore praise him for ever.

19 All these days I merely appeared to you and did not eat or drink, but you were seeing a vision.

20 And now give thanks to God, for I am ascending to him who sent me. Write in a book everything that has happened."

21 Then they stood up; but they saw him no more.

22 So they confessed the great and wonderful works of God, and acknowledged that the angel of the Lord had appeared to them.
