What the Bible says

Tobit 5:3

Then his father answered him, and said: I have a note of his hand with me, which when thou shalt shew him, he will presently pay it. But go now, and seek thee out some faithful man, to go with thee for his hire: that thou mayst receive it, while I yet live.

Tobit 11:14

And Tobias took hold of it, and drew it from his eyes, and immediately he recovered his sight.
