| 12:1 | Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Τωβεὶτ Τωβείαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ὅρα, τέκνον, μισθὸν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τῷ συνελθόντι σοι, καὶ προσθεῖναι αὐτῷ δεῖ |
| 12:2 | καὶ εἶπεν Πάτερ, οὐ βλάπτομαι δοὺς αὐτῷ τὸ ἥμισυ ὧν ἐνήνοχα, |
| 12:3 | ὅτι με ἀγίοχέν σοι ὑγιῆ, καὶ τὴν γυναῖκά μου ἐθεράπευσεν καὶ τὸ ἀργύριόν μου ἤνεγκεν, καὶ σέ ὁμοίως ἐθεράπευσεν. |
| 12:4 | καὶ εἶπεν ὁ πρεσβύτης Δικαιοῦται αὐτῷ. |
| 12:5 | καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸν ἄγγελον καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Λάβε τὸ ἥμισυ πάντων ὧν ἐνηνόχατε. |
| 12:6 | καὶ καλέσας τοὺς δύο κρυπτῶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Εὐλογεῖτε τὸν θεὸν καὶ αὐτῷ ἐξομολογεῖσθε, μεγαλωσύνην δίδοτε αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθε αὐτῷ ἐνώπιον πάντων τῶν ζώντων περὶ ὧν ἐποίησεν μεθʼ ὑμῶν. ἀγαθὸν τὸ εὐλογεῖν τὸν θεὸν καὶ ὑψοῖν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, τοὺς λόγους τῶν ἔργων τοῦ θεοῦ ἐντίμως ὑποδεικνύοντες· καὶ μὴ ὀκνεῖτε ἐξομολογεῖσθαι αὐτῷ. |
| 12:7 | μυστήριον βασιλέως καλὸν κρύψαι, τὰ δὲ ἔργα τοῦ θεοῦ ἀνακαλύπτειν ἐνδόξως. ἀγαθὸν ποιήσατε, καὶ κακὸν οὐχ εὑρήσει ὑμᾶς. |
| 12:8 | ἀγαθὸν προσευχὴ μετὰ νηστείας καὶ ἐλεημοσύνης καὶ δικαιοσύνης· ἀγαθὸν τὸ ὀλίγον μετὰ δικαιοσύνης ἢ πολὺ μετὰ ἀδικίας· καλὸν ποιῆσαι ἐλεημοσύνην ἢ θησαυρίσαι χρυσίον. |
| 12:9 | ἐλεημοσύνη ἐκ θανάτου ῥύεται, καὶ αὕτη ἀποκαθαριεῖ πᾶσαν ἁμαρτίαν· οἱ ποιοῦντες ἐλεημοσύνας καὶ δικαιοσύνας πλησθήσονται ζωῆς· |
| 12:10 | οἱ δὲ ἁμαρτάνοντες πολέμιοί εἰσιν τῆς ἑαυτῶν ζωῆς. |
| 12:11 | οὐ μὴ κρύψω ἀφʼ ὑμῶν πᾶν ῥῆμα· εἴρηκα δὴ μυστήριον βασιλέως κρύψαι καλόν, τὰ δὲ ἔργα τοῦ θεοῦ ἀνακαλύπτειν ἐνδόξως. |
| 12:12 | καὶ νῦν ὅτε προσηύξω σὺ καὶ ἡ νύμφη σου Σάρρα, ἐγὼ προσήγαγον τὸ μνημόσυνον τῆς προσευχῆς ὑμῶν ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἁγίου· καὶ ὅτε ἔθαπτες τοὺς νεκρούς, ὡσαύτως συμπαρήμην σοι· |
| 12:13 | καὶ ὅτε οὐκ ὤκνησας ἀναστῆναι καὶ καταλιπεῖν τὸ ἄριστόν σου ὅπως ἀπελθὼν περιστείλῃς τὸν νεκρόν, οὐκ ἔλαθές με ἀγαθοποιῶν, ἀλλὰ σὺν σοὶ ἤμην. |
| 12:14 | καὶ νῦν ἀπέστειλέν με ὁ θεὸς ἰάσασθαί σε καὶ τὴν νύμφην σου Σάρραν. |
| 12:15 | ἐγὼ εἰμι Ῥαφαήλ, εἰς ἐκ τῶν ἑπτὰ ἁγίων ἀγγέλων οἳ προσαναφέρουσιν τὰς προσευχὰς τῶν ἁγίων καὶ εἰσπορεύονται ἐνώπιον τῆς δόξης τοῦ ἁγίου. |
| 12:16 | Καὶ ἐταράχθησαν οἱ δύο καὶ ἔπεσον ἐπὶ πρόσωπον, ὅτι ἐφοβήθησαν. |
| 12:17 | καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Μὴ φοβεῖσθε, εἰρήνη ὑμῖν ἔσται· τὸν δὲ θεὸν εὐλογεῖτε εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, |
| 12:18 | ὅτι οὐ τῇ ἐμαυτοῦ χάριτι ἀλλὰ τῆ θελήσει τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν· ὅθεν εὐλογεῖτε αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. |
| 12:19 | πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ὠπτανόμην ὑμῖν, καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγον οὐδὲ ἔπιον, ἀλλὰ ὅρασιν ὑμεῖς ἐθεωρεῖτε. |
| 12:20 | καὶ νῦν ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ θεῷ, διότι ἀναβαίνω πρὸς τὸν ἀποστείλανταά με, καὶ γράψατε πάντα τὰ συντελεσθέντα εἰς βιβλίον. |
| 12:21 | καὶ ἀνέστησαν, καὶ οὐκ εἶδον αὐτόν. |
| 12:22 | καὶ ἐξομολογοῦντο τὰ ἔργα τὰ μεγάλα καὶ θαυμαστὰ αὐτοῦ, ὡς ὤφθη αὐτοῖς ἄγγελος Κυρίου. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
