Texto bíblicoVoz sintética (IA)
Después de estas cosas, Tobías también prosiguió su camino, bendiciendo a Dios porque había prosperado su viaje; y bendijo a Ragüel y a Edna, su esposa. Luego continuó su camino hasta que se acercaron a Nínive. Rafael le dijo a Tobías: «¿No sabes, hermano, en qué estado dejaste a tu padre? Adelantémonos corriendo antes que tu esposa, y preparemos la casa. Pero toma en tu mano la hiel del pez». Así que prosiguieron su camino, y el perro fue tras ellos. Ana estaba sentada mirando hacia el camino por si venía su hijo. Lo vio venir, y le dijo a su padre: «¡Mira, tu hijo viene con el hombre que lo acompañó!» Rafael le dijo: «Sé, Tobías, que tu padre abrirá los ojos. Por tanto, unge sus ojos con la hiel, y al sentir el escozor, él se frotará, y hará que las manchas blancas se desprendan. Entonces te verá». Ana corrió hacia él, se echó al cuello de su hijo, y le dijo: «¡Te he visto, hijo mío! Ya estoy lista para morir». Y ambos lloraron. Tobit se dirigió hacia la puerta y tropezó; pero su hijo corrió hacia él, y sostuvo a su padre. Frotó la hiel en los ojos de su padre, diciendo: «Anímate, padre mío». Cuando los ojos le empezaron a doler, se los frotó. Entonces las manchas blancas se desprendieron de las comisuras de sus ojos; y vio a su hijo, y se echó a su cuello. Lloró, y dijo: «¡Bendito eres, oh Dios, y bendito es tu nombre para siempre! ¡Benditos sean todos tus santos ángeles! Porque me azotaste, y tuviste misericordia de mí. Mira, veo a mi hijo Tobías». Y su hijo entró regocijándose, y le contó a su padre las grandes cosas que le habían sucedido en Media. Tobit salió al encuentro de su nuera a las puertas de Nínive, regocijándose y bendiciendo a Dios. Los que lo vieron caminar se maravillaron, porque había recuperado la vista. Tobit dio gracias delante de ellos, porque Dios había tenido misericordia de él. Cuando Tobit se acercó a Sara, su nuera, la bendijo, diciendo: «¡Bienvenida, hija! Bendito sea Dios que te ha traído a nosotros, y benditos sean tu padre y tu madre». Y hubo alegría entre todos sus parientes que estaban en Nínive. Ajicar y Nasbas, el hijo de su hermano, vinieron. Los esponsales de Tobías se celebraron durante siete días con gran alborozo.

Notas en inglés Comentario católico del siglo XIX del P. George Leo Haydock, tal como se publicó.
Estas notas conservan las polémicas de su época: algunas hablan con dureza del pueblo judío o de otros cristianos. La Iglesia enseña hoy otra cosa. No se puede culpar al pueblo judío de la muerte de Cristo (Nostra Aetate 4; Catecismo 597–598), y los cristianos de otras comunidades son nuestros hermanos en el Señor (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).

Tobías 11:1
Ver. 1. Charan. Not the residence of Abraham. Gen. xii. 4. Syr. reads, "Bazri," or
"Carrac."
Old Vulg. ibat Caracha, quæ est civitas in Ninive. Arrian places Carcha in Assyria, and Ptolemy mentions a Characa in Susiana. --- Midway. At this rate, the distance from Ninive to Ecbatana would be 22 days’ journey. But it is not half so much for a man travelling expeditiously. C. ---
Tobias had much luggage. Leaving it with his wife, (H.) he went from this city to Ninive in three or four days, v. 18. C. --- Gr. "and he travelled on till he came near to Ninive. And Raphael said," &c.
↑ 1Tobías 11:3
Ver. 3. If. Gr. "Let us go quickly before thy wife, and prepare the house." H. ---
This would be necessary, for the reception of so many goods, as well as to relieve the anxiety (C.) of the aged parents, and prevent surprise.
↑ 3Tobías 11:4
Ver. 4. And. Gr. "Take now in thy hand the gall of the fish. And they went on.
And the dog followed close up to them; (H. Syr. "ran before them." C.) and Anna."
↑ 4Tobías 11:6
Ver. 6. Cometh. Gr. adds, "and the man who went with him."
↑ 6Tobías 11:7
Ver. 7. To. Gr. "I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes. Ancient, therefore, the gall upon his eyes, and feeling the smart, he will rub and remove the white specks, and shall see thee."
H. --- God. This laudable custom was observed by the ancient solitaries, and prescribed by the rule of S. Benedict, c. 53.
↑ 7Tobías 11:9
Ver. 9. The dog, &c. This may seem a very minute circumstance to be recorded in sacred history; but, as we learn from our Saviour, (S. Matt. v. 18) there are iotas and tittles in the word of God, that is to say, things that appear minute, but which have indeed a deep mysterious meaning in them. Ch. --- V. Bede. S.
Jer. in Isai. lvi. 8. S. Aug. con. Faust. xxii. 56. W. --- The other versions relate this event, v. 4.
↑ 9Tobías 11:10
Ver. 10. And. After v. 7, Gr. adds, "and Anna running before, fell upon the neck of her son, and said to him, I have beheld thee, son; henceforth I may die. And they both wept. And Tobit went out towards the door, and he stumbled. But his son ran up to him, and took hold of his father, and spread the gall upon his father’s eyes, saying, Have confidence, father. But as soon as they began to smart, he rubbed his eyes, and the white specks came off like skins from the corners: and beholding his son, he fell upon his neck, and wept. Then he said," v. 17. H.
↑ 10Tobías 11:14
Ver. 14. Hour. This is not in the other versions. C. --- It would intimate that the operation was natural. M. --- Yet some think that the cure was too instantaneous; (Drusius) or that the miracle consisted in the revelation of a remedy, till then unknown. Serarius. --- The effect seems to have been of the same nature as that produced by the heart, &c. C. vi. 8. W. C. --- Estius believes that the optic nerve was entirely burnt. If the external coat of the eyes was only covered with a sort of skin, it might be removed by the gall of several fishes. C.
--- Callionymi fel cicatrice sanat & carnes oculorum supervacuas consumit.
Pliny xxxii 4. M.
↑ 14Tobías 11:17
Ver. 17. Lord. Gr. "Blessed be God, and blessed be thy name for ever, and blessed be all thy holy angels; because thou hast scourged, and hast shewn mercy, and," &c.
↑ 17Tobías 11:18
Ver. 18. Days. Or perhaps hours; (H.) as the other versions intimate that Sara Arrived the same day. C. --- Gr. "And his son entered, rejoicing, and related to his father the great things which had taken place in Media. And Tobit went out to meet his daughter-in-law, rejoicing, and blessing God, to the gate of Ninive.
And those who saw him walking were astonished, because he saw.
And Tobit confessed before them that God had taken pity on him. And as Tobit approached to Sarra, his daughter-in-law, he blessed her, saying, Mayst thou come with safety, daughter.
Blessed be God, who has brought thee to us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren at Ninive. And," v. 20. H.
↑ 18Tobías 11:20
Ver. 20. Achior. Gr. "Achiachar," mentioned C. i. 24. This text insinuates that he was also styled Anael (H.) and Nasbas, and was the nephew of Tobit. Grot. C.
--- Gr. "And there came Achiachar, and Nasbas, his brother's son, and the wedding of Tobias was kept in joy for seven days." H.
↑ 20Tobías 11:21
Ver. 21. Joy. Old Vulg. adds, "and many presents were made to him."
