Tobit 4:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² and he said to himself, “Now I have asked for death. Why do I not call my son Tobias and explain to him about the money before I die?” ³ Then he called his son Tobias, and when he came to him he said, “My son, when I die,^[a] give me a proper burial. Honor your mother and do not abandon her all the days of her life. Do whatever pleases her, and do not grieve her in anything. ⁴ Remember her, my son, because she faced many dangers for you while you were in her womb. And when she dies, bury her beside me in the same grave.
