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.
12-13 Tobias then applied the gall, and beginning from the corners of Tobit's eyes, he peeled away the white film.
14 Tobit threw his arms round Tobias' neck and wept for joy. Then he exclaimed, “I can see you! My son, the light of my eyes!“Praise God. Praise him for his greatness.Praise all his holy angels.May he continue to bless us.Praise all his angels for ever.
15 He brought this illness upon me,but now I can see my son Tobias!”Then Tobias went happily into the house, praising God at the top of his voice. He told his father how successful he had been, that he had not only brought back the money, but had married Raguel's daughter Sarah, who was on her way and would soon arrive.
16 Tobit was excited and praised God as he went out to meet his son's bride at the city gate. When the people of Nineveh saw him, they were amazed, because he was walking on his own, with no one leading him by the hand.
