15. I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who stand ready and who enter the Lord’s glorious presence."
16. The two were shocked. They fell on their faces in fear.
17. But Raphael said to them, "Don’t be afraid; be at peace! Praise God for all time!
18. While I was with you, it wasn’t because I was showing you any favor but because of God’s will. Praise him all your days and sing to him!
19. You were observing me, but I wasn’t eating or drinking anything. Instead, you were seeing a vision.
20. Now praise the Lord here on earth and acknowledge God. Notice that I’m ascending to the one who sent me. So record everything that has happened to you." Then Raphael ascended.
21. Tobit and Tobias got up and were no longer able to see him.
22. They continued to praise and sing to God, and acknowledged him for these great works of his. They marveled at how one of God’s angels had appeared to them.
