Summary
The Book of Tobit 12:21

12:15. For I am the Angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord.”

12:16. And when they had heard these things, they were troubled, and being seized with fear they fell upon the ground on their face.

12:17. And the Angel said to them: “Peace be to you, fear not.

12:18. For when I was with you, I was there by the will of God: bless ye Him, and sing praises to Him.

12:19. I seemed indeed to eat and to drink with you but I use an invisible meat and drink, which cannot be seen by men.

12:20. It is time therefore that I return to Him that sent me: but bless ye God, and publish all His wonderful works.”

12:21. And when he had said these things, he was taken from their sight, and they could see him no more.

12:22. Then they lying prostrate for three hours upon their face, blessed God, and rising up, they told all His wonderful works.
