2. Raphael said, “Tobias, you know the condition your father was in when we left him.
3. We should go on ahead of your wife and get the house ready before everyone else arrives.
4. Be sure to bring the fish's gall-bladder with you.” So they went on ahead, and Tobias' dog ran along with them.
5. Meanwhile, Anna sat looking down the road for her son.
6. Suddenly she saw him coming and shouted out to Tobit, “Look! Our son is coming, and his friend is with him!”
7. Before they reached Tobit, Raphael said to Tobias, “Your father will be able to see again.
8. Just put the fish's gall-bladder on his eyes like a plaster. The medicine will make the white film shrivel up so that you can peel it off, and your father will then regain his eyesight.”
9. Anna ran to her son, threw her arms round him, and exclaimed, “Now that I have seen you alive, my child, I can die in peace!” And she wept for joy.
10. Tobit got up and stumbled out through the entrance of the courtyard.
11. Tobias went up to him, holding the fish's gall-bladder in his hand. He blew on his father's eyes and steadied him. “Don't worry now, father,” he said.
