Tobit 12:16–22

16 And they were both troubled, and fell upon their faces; and they were afraid. 17 And he said unto them, Be not afraid, peace be unto you; bless God to all eternity. 18 I when I was with you, was not with you of any favour of mine, but by the will of God; him bless ye day by day, him praise.

R s

19 And ye behold me that I have eaten nothing, but a vision hath appeared to you. 20 And now bless the Lord on the earth and give God thanks: Behold I ascend to him that sent me: write down all these things which have been happened to you. 21 And he ascended. And they rose up and could no longer see him. 22 And they blessed and praised God and they gave him thanks for these his great works, how the angel of God had appeared unto them.

All these days did I appear unto you; and I did neither eat nor drink, but it was a vision ye yourselves saw. And now give God thanks because I ascend to him that sent me: and write in a book all the things which have been done. And they rose up and saw him no more. And they confessed the great and wonderful works of God, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared unto them.
