Tobit

1So Tobit made an end of praising God. 2And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost his sight, which was restored to him after eight years: and he gave alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and praised him. 3And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life. 4Go into Media my son, for I surely believe those things which Jonas the prophet…

1Then Tobit wrote a prayer of rejoicing, and said, Blessed be God that liveth for ever, and blessed be his kingdom. 2For he doth scourge, and hath mercy: he leadeth down to hell, and bringeth up again: neither is there any that can avoid his hand. 3Confess him before the Gentiles, ye children of Israel: for he hath scattered us among them. 4There declare his greatness, and extol him before all the living: for he is our Lord, and he is the God our Father for ever. 5And he will scourge us for our iniquities, and will have mercy again,…

1Then Tobit called his son Tobias, and said unto him, My son, see that the man have his wages, which went with thee, and thou must give him more. 2And Tobias said unto him, O father, it is no harm to me to give him half of those things which I have brought: 3For he hath brought me again to thee in safety, and made whole my wife, and brought me the money, and likewise healed thee. 4Then the old man said, It is due unto him. 5So he called the angel, and he said unto him, Take half of…

1After these things Tobias went his way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineve. 2Then Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest, brother, how thou didst leave thy father: 3Let us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house. 4And take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them. 5Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son. 6And when she espied him coming, she said to…

1Now Tobit his father counted every day: and when the days of the journey were expired, and they came not, 2Then Tobit said, Are they detained? or is Gabael dead, and there is no man to give him the money? 3Therefore he was very sorry. 4Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he stayeth long; and she began to wail him, and said, 5Now I care for nothing, my son, since I have let thee go, the light of mine eyes. 6To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, take no care, for he is safe. 7But…

1And when they had supped, they brought Tobias in unto her. 2And as he went, he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon, and made a smoke therewith. 3The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him. 4And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God would have pity on us. 5Then began Tobias to…

1Then Tobias called Raphael, and said unto him, 2Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding. 3For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart. 4But my father counteth the days; and if I tarry long, he will be very sorry. 5So Raphael went out, and lodged with Gabael, and gave him the handwriting: who brought forth bags which were sealed up, and gave them to him. 6And early in the morning they went forth both together, and came…

1And as they went on their journey, they came in the evening to the river Tigris, and they lodged there. 2And when the young man went down to wash himself, a fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured him. 3Then the angel said unto him, Take the fish. And the young man laid hold of the fish, and drew it to land. 4To whom the angel said, Open the fish, and take the heart and the liver and the gall, and put them up safely. 5So the young man did as the angel commanded him; and when…

1And when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house of Raguel, and Sara met them: and after they had saluted one another, she brought them into the house. 2Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this young man to Tobit my cousin! 3And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye, brethren? To whom they said, We are of the sons of Nephthalim, which are captives in Nineve. 4Then he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinsman? And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health? 5And they…

Why is Tobit shown with the King James Bible? 1Tobias then answered and said, Father, I will do all things which thou hast commanded me: 2But how can I receive the money, seeing I know him not? 3Then he gave him the handwriting, and said unto him, Seek thee a man which may go with thee, whiles I yet live, and I will give him wages: and go and receive the money. 4Therefore when he went to seek a man, he found Raphael that was an angel. 5But he knew not; and he said unto him, Canst thou go with…
