Tobit 11:1-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Homeward Journey

11 After this Tobi′as went on his way, praising God because he had made his journey a success. And he blessed Rag′uel and his wife Edna.

So he continued on his way until they came near to Nin′eveh. ² Then Raph′ael said to Tobi′as, “Are you not aware, brother, of how you left your father? ³ Let us run ahead of your wife and prepare the house. ⁴ And take the gall of the fish with you.” So they went their way, and the dog went along behind them.

⁵ Now Anna sat looking intently down the road for her son. ⁶ And she caught sight of him coming, and said to his father, “Behold, your son is coming, and so is the man who went with him!”

Tobit’s Sight Restored

⁷ Raph′ael said, “I know, Tobi′as, that your father will open his eyes. ⁸ You therefore must anoint his eyes with the gall; and when they smart he will rub them, and will cause the white films to fall away, and he will see you.”
