Tobit 5:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ Then Tobit said to him,
    Welcome to our home! God bless you, my son. Please don't be offended because I wanted to know the truth about you and your family. As it turns out, you are from a good family and a relative at that! I knew Ananias and Nathan, the two sons of the older Shemaiah. They were always loyal to their religion. We used to travel together to Jerusalem and worship there. Your relatives are fine people, and you come from good stock. Have a safe journey.

¹⁴ Tobit continued,
    I will pay the normal daily wage plus expenses for both of you. ¹⁵ Be a good companion to Tobias, and I will add a bonus to your wages.
