You will find Raphael in the book of Tobias, the very end of Chapter 3 and subsequent chapters.

It's one of the Deuterocanonical books (called Apocrypha by most Protestants) that were in the Hebrew Scriptures as accepted at the time of Christ (the LXX or Septuagint), but removed by the Jewish rabbis later in history. Since the King James was translated from the Hebrew Scriptures extant in 1611, the Deuterocanonical books were omitted.

But when you see OT quotes in the NT, they are almost always from the LXX. So there's no good reason to omit them, and most study Bibles include them now.

Thanks. I don’t have a big “issue” with the books that are called “Apocrypha” so if the name is in there, that works for me. I’ll have to share this with some of my friends.

I do have issue with the “personal guardian angel” thing though, which is an entirely different conversation.

I’m just thankful God has His angelic realm and that they protect us and do a host of other cool things.

Thanks again.
