1TObias then answered & said, Father, I wil do all things which thou hast commanded me. 2But how can I receiue the siluer, seing I knowe him not? 3Then he gaue him the hand writing, and said vnto him, Seke thee a man, which may go with thee, whiles I yet liue, and I wil giue him wages, and go and receiue the money. 4Therefore when he was gone to seke a man, he founde Raphael the Angel. 5But he knewe not, & said vnto him, May I go with thee into the land of Media? and knowest thou those places wel? 6To whome the Angel said, I wil go with thee: for I haue remained with our brother Gabael. 7Then Tobias said to him, Tarie for me, til I tell my father. 8Then he said vnto him, Go, and tary not: so he went in & said to his father, Beholde, I haue founde one, which wil go with me. Then he said, Call him vnto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be faithful to go with thee. 9So he called him, and he came in, & they saluted one another. 10Then Tobit said vnto him, Brother, shewe me of what tribe and familie thou art. 11To whome he said, Doest thou seke a stocke or familie, or an hired man to go with thy sonne? Then Tobit said vnto him, I wolde knowe thy kinred and thy name. 12Then he said, I am of the kinred of Azarias & Ananias the great, & of thy brethren. 13Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome: be not now angrie with me, because I haue enquired to knowe thy kinred, and thy familie: for thou art my brother of an honest and good stocke: for I knewe Ananias and Ionathas, sonnes of that great Samaias: for we went together to Ierusalem to worship, and offred the first borne, & the tenths of the frutes, and they were not deceiued with the errour of our brethren: my brother, thou art of a great stocke. 14But tel me, what wages shal I giue thee? wilt thou a grote a day & things necessarie, as to mine owne sonne? 15Yea, moreouer if ye returne safe, I wil adde some thing to the wages. 16So thei agreed. Then said he to Tobias, Prepare thy self for the iourney, and go you on Gods Name. And when his sonne had prepared all things for the iourney, his father said, Go thou with this man, & God which dwelleth in heauen, prosper your iourney, and the Angel of God kepe you companie. So they went forthe bothe and departed, and the dogge of the yong man with them. 17But Anna his mother wept, and said to Tobit, Why hast thou sent away our sonne? is he not the staffe of our hand to minister vnto vs? 18Wolde to God we had not laid money vpon money, but that it had bene cast away in respect of our sonne. 19For that which God hathe giuen vs to liue with, doeth suffice vs. 20Then said Tobit, Be not careful, my sister: he shal returne in safetie, & thine eyes shal se him. 21For the good Angel doeth kepe him companie, and his iourney shal be prosperous, and he shal returne safe. 22Then she made an end of weping.
