Tobit 5:14-16
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
14 Then Tobit said to him, ‘Welcome! God save you, brother. Do not feel bitter towards me, brother, because I wanted to be sure about your ancestry. It turns out that you are a kinsman, and of good and noble lineage. For I knew Hananiah and Nathan,[a] the two sons of Shemeliah,[b] and they used to go with me to Jerusalem and worshipped with me there, and were not led astray. Your kindred are good people; you come of good stock. Hearty welcome!’
15 Then he added, ‘I will pay you a drachma a day as wages, as well as expenses for yourself and my son. So go with my son, 16 and[c] I will add something to your wages.’ Raphael[d] answered, ‘I will go with him; so do not fear. We shall leave in good health and return to you in good health, because the way is safe.’
