Tobit 5:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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^[a] I will add something to your wages.” Raphael^[b] 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.” ¹⁷ So Tobit^[c] said to him, “Blessings be upon you, brother.”

Then he called his son and said to him, “Son, prepare supplies for the journey and set out with your brother. May God in heaven bring you safely there and return you in good health to me; and may his angel, my son, accompany you both for your safety.”

Before he went out to start his journey, he kissed his father and mother. Tobit then said to him, “Have a safe journey.”
