And the angel said to him--

"Thou hast well spoken, for thou art the companion of the citizens of

Heaven, and like Job and Tobit hast suffered all things meekly and with

patience. I am Raphael, an angel of our Lord, who am come to show thee

medicine for thy healing, for God hath heard thy prayers. Thou must bid

Amile, thy comrade, to slay his two children with the sword, and wash

thee in their blood, that thus thy body may become clean."
