Tobit 4:2-4

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² “I have asked for death. Why do I not call my son Tobi′as so that I may explain to him about the money^[a] before I die?” ³ So he called him and said, “My son, when I die, bury me, and do not neglect your mother. Honor her all the days of your life; do what is pleasing to her, and do not grieve her. ⁴ Remember, my son, that she faced many dangers for you while you were yet unborn. When she dies, bury her beside me in the same grave.
