1NOw when I was come home againe, & my wife Anna was restored vnto me with my sonne Tobias, in the feast of Pentecoste, which is the holy feast of the seuen wekes, there was a great dinner prepared me, in the which I sate downe to eat. 2And when I sawe abundance of meat, I said to my sonne, Go, & bring what poore man soeuer thou shalt finde of our brethren which doth remember God, & lo I wil tary for thee. 3But he came againe, and said, Father, one of our nation is strangled, and is cast out in the market place. 4Then before I had tasted anie meat, I start vp, and broght him into mine house vntil the going downe of the sunne. 5Then I returned and washed, and ate my meat in heauines, 6Remembring that prophecie of* Amos, which had said, your solemne feasts shalbe turned into mourning, & your ioyes into wailing. 7Therefore I wept, & after the going downe of the sunne I went & made a graue & buried him. 8But my neighbours mocked me, and said, Doeth he not feare, to dye for this cause, who *fled away, and yet, lo, he buryeth the dead againe. 9The same night also when I returned from the buryal, & slept at the wall of mine house because I was polluted, & hauing my face vncouered, 10And I knewe not that sparowes were in the wall, & as mine eyes were open, the sparowes cast downe warme dongue into mine eyes, & a whitenes came in mine eies, & I went to the phisicians who helped me not. Moreouer Achiacharus did nourish me, vntil I went into Elimais. 11And my wife Anna did take womens workes to do. 12And when she had sent them home to the owners, thei paied the wages, & gaue a kid. 13Which when it was at mine house, and began to bleat, I said vnto her, From whence is this kid? is it not stollen? render it to the owners:* for it is not lawful to eat anie thing that is stollen. 14But she said, It was giuen for a gifte more then the wages: but I did not beleue, & bade her to render it to the owners, & I did blush, because of her. Furthermore she said,* Where are thine almes, & thy righteousnes? beholde, they all now appeare in thee.
