Tobit 5:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁴ Then Tobit^[a] said to him, “You are very welcome, brother. Do not feel bitter toward me, brother, because I wanted to be sure about your family. It turns out that you are a kinsman and of good and noble lineage. For I knew Hananiah and Nathan, the two sons of the elder Shemeliah,^[b] and they used to go with me to Jerusalem and worship with me there; they were not led astray. Your kindred are good people; you are of good stock. Welcome!”^(A)

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,^{(B) 16} and I will add something to your wages.” Raphael^[c] 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.”
