Tobit 5:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² He replied, “Why do you need to know my tribe?” But Tobit^[a] said, “I want to be sure, brother, whose son you are and what your name is.” ¹³ He replied, “I am Azariah, the son of the great Hananiah, one of your relatives.” ¹⁴ Then Tobit said to him, “Welcome! God save you, brother. Do not feel bitter toward me, brother, because I wanted to be sure about your ancestry. It turns out that you are a kinsman, and of good and noble lineage. For I knew Hananiah and Nathan,^[b] the two sons of Shemeliah,^[c] and they used to go with me to Jerusalem and worshiped with me there, and were not led astray. Your kindred are good people; you come of good stock. Hearty welcome!”
