13 On the day you got up from the table without eating your meal in order to bury that corpse, God sent me to test you.
14 But he also sent me to cure you and to rescue your daughter-in-law, Sarah, from her troubles.
15 I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who stand in the glorious presence of the Lord, ready to serve him.”
16 Tobit and Tobias were terrified and fell to the ground, trembling with fear.
17 But Raphael said to them, “Don't be afraid; everything is all right. Always remember to praise God.
18 He wanted me to come and help you; I did not come on my own. So sing God's praises as long as you live.
19 When you thought you saw me eating, I did not really eat anything; it only seemed as if I did.
