Tobit 11:10-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. And rising up, his blind father began to run, stumbling with his feet. And giving his hand to a servant, he ran on to meet his son.

11. And receiving him, he kissed him, as did his wife, and they both began to weep for joy.

12. And when they had adored God and had given thanks, they sat down together.

13. Then Tobias, taking from the gall of the fish, anointed his father's eyes.

14. And about half an hour passed, and then a white film began to come out of his eyes, like the membrane of an egg.

15. So, taking hold of it, Tobias pulled it away from his eyes, and immediately he received his sight.

16. And they glorified God: Tobit especially, and his wife, and all those who knew him.

17. And Tobit said, "I bless you, O Lord God of Israel, because you have chastised me, and you have saved me, and behold, I see my son Tobias."

18. And then, after seven days, Sarah, the wife of his son, and all the family arrived safely, along with the sheep, and the camels, and much money from his wife, but also with that money which he had received from Gabael.

19. And he explained to his parents all the benefits from God, which he had produced all around him, by means of the man who had led him.
