17 But Raphael said:“Don't worry! Just remember to always praise God.
18 Don't give me the credit; it was God who did all of this. That's why you must sing praises to God every day.
19 When you thought you saw me eating and drinking, it only seemed that way.
20 So praise God and thank him for as long as you live. Now I will return to the one who sent me, and I command you to write down everything that has happened to you. Then Raphael went up into heaven.”
21 Tobias and I stood up, but we could no longer see Raphael.
22 Then we began singing praises to God because of the great things he had done, especially for sending the angel to us.
