Tobit 12:14–19

14 And now the Lord hath sent me to heal thee, and to deliver Sara thy son’s wife from the devil.

15 For I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord.

16 And when they had heard these things, they were troubled, and being seized with fear they fell upon the ground on their face.

17 And the angel said to them: Peace be to you, fear not.

18 For when I was with you, I was there by the will of God: bless ye him, and sing praises to him.

19 I seemed indeed to eat and to drink with you but I use an invisible meat and drink, which cannot be seen by men.

Tobit 12:14–19 — New Revised Standard Version: Updated Edition (NRSVue)

14 I was sent to you to test you. And at the same time God sent me to heal you and Sarah your daughter-in-law. 15 I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who stand ready and enter before the glory of the Lord.”

16 The two of them were shaken and threw themselves face down, for they were afraid. 17 But he said to them, “Do not be afraid; peace be with you. Bless God forevermore. 18 As for me, when I was with you, I was not acting on my own will but by the will of God. Bless him each and every day; sing his praises. 19 When you were watching me, I was not really eating anything, but what you saw was a vision.
