Tobit 12:19
Print
You were observing me, but I wasn’t eating or drinking anything. Instead, you were seeing a vision.
I seemed indeed to eat and to drink with you: but I use an invisible meat and drink, which cannot be seen by men.
When you thought you saw me eating, I did not really eat anything; it only seemed so.
Even though you saw me eat and drink, I did not eat or drink anything; what you were seeing was a vision.
When you thought that you saw me eating, that was only a vision—I did not eat anything.
Although you were watching me, I really did not eat or drink anything—but what you saw was a vision.
Although you were watching me, I really did not eat or drink anything—but what you saw was a vision.
Although you were watching me, I really did not eat or drink anything—but what you saw was a vision.
When you were watching me, I was not really eating anything, but what you saw was a vision.
All these days I merely appeared to you and did not eat or drink, but you were seeing a vision.
All these days I merely appeared to you and did not eat or drink, but you were seeing a vision.
Certainly I seemed to eat and to drink with you; but I use invisible meat, and drink that may not be seen of (or by) men.
