Tobit's Sight Is Restored

Anna kept watching the path for her son. When she saw Tobias coming, she told Tobit that their son was near, with the man who had gone with him. Raphael told Tobias that his father's eyes would be opened again after the bile was put on them.

Anna ran to Tobias, held him close, and wept because she had seen her child again. Tobit moved towards the door but stumbled. Tobias ran to him, took hold of him, and began to help his father.

Tobias rubbed the bile on his father's eyes and tried to encourage him. Tobit's eyes hurt, and he rubbed them. Then the white films peeled away, and he could see. He saw his son, embraced him, and wept.

Tobit blessed God and blessed God's name forever. He said that God had struck him and also shown him mercy, and now he could see his son Tobias. Tobias went in rejoicing and told his father about the great things that had happened in Media.

Then Tobit went out to meet Sarah at the gate of Nineveh, rejoicing and blessing God. People were amazed that he had received his sight. He welcomed Sarah as his daughter and blessed her parents. There was joy among his kindred in Nineveh, and Achiacharus and Nasbas came. Tobias' wedding feast was kept for seven days with great gladness.
