I read Tobit 6-8 and I'm not sure what it has to do with anything that we covered in class, or Mark at all for that matter, but it was quite entertaining. Tobias was washing in a river and an angel told him to catch a fish and remove his innards. These he would use to cast away a demon. His cousin had married 7 men, all whom had died on the wedding night (stinks for them) and Tobias was told to marry her and use the fish heart and liver to make smoke and repel the demon in love with her.
Tobias did as was told despite his fear and was found asleep but very alive the next morning by his father in law, who filled in Tobias' already prepared grave (not much faith in the guy), praised God, and had a PARTY!!!
I guess the moral of the story is Don't throw your fish back, you never know when a demon is going to come around. It was really interesting to see the demon exorcism compared to Jesus' and how in-depth Tobias' was, when all Jesus did was speak.
