Tobit 5:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ Then Tobit answered his son Tobias, “He gave me his bond and I gave him my bond. I^[a] divided his in two; we each took one part, and I put one with the money. And now twenty years have passed since I left this money in trust. So now, my son, find yourself a trustworthy man to go with you, and we will pay him wages until you return. But get back the money from Gabael.”^[b]

⁴ So Tobias went out to look for a man to go with him to Media, someone who was acquainted with the way. He went out and found the angel Raphael standing in front of him; but he did not perceive that he was an angel of God. ⁵ Tobias^[c] said to him, “Where do you come from, young man?” “From your kindred, the Israelites,” he replied, “and I have come here to work.” Then Tobias^[d] said to him, “Do you know the way to go to Media?”
