Tobias and Angel Raphael - fragment
Young Tobias and Angel Raphael
During the time of the Assyrian Captivity, a righteous man named Tobias lives with his wife, Anna, and their son, Tobias, in Ninive. He comforts and gives alms to his fellow Jews, risking death at the hands of the authorities for his refusal to leave the dead unburied. While sleeping one day, Tobias is blinded by falling bird dung. In a parallel story, Sara, the daughter of Raguel of Rages, is married seven times but cannot consummate the unions, because her husbands are killed on their wedding night by the demon, Asmodeus. Tobias and Sara beseech God for healing and deliverance, and the Angel Raphael is sent in answer to their prayers. He assumes the identity of a traveler, named Azarias, and offers to accompany the Young Tobias, when he sets out to receive payment for a debt from his kinsman, Gabelus, who also lives in the city of Rages. Source Bible stories and parables.
