1 After the wedding celebration, I called in Tobias and said, “My son, it's time to pay the man who went with you, and he deserves a bonus.”
2 Tobias answered, “How much should I give him? We could give him half of what I brought back, and we would still have plenty for ourselves.
3 After all, he got me back home safely, he healed my wife, he brought back the silver coins to you, and he healed you. So how much should I give him as a bonus?”
4 “My son,” I replied, “he deserves to get half of everything he brought back.”
5 Tobias called in Raphael and said, “You have earned half of everything you brought back. And now it's time for us to say goodbye.”
