	In the [[Bible]], Raphael was one of the three [[angel]]s who appeared to Abraham in the oak grove of Mamre in the region of Hebron (Genesis 18). [[Archangel Michael]], as the greatest, walked in the middle, with [[Archangel Gabriel]] to his right and Raphael to his left (Yoma 37a). Each was commanded to carry out a specific mission: Gabriel to destroy Sodom, Michael to inform Sarah that she would give birth to Isaac, Raphael to heal Abraham from his recent circumcision and save Lot.

	The New Testament names only two [[archangels]] or angels, Michael and Gabriel (Luke 1:9–26; Jude 1:9; Revelation 12:7), but Raphael, because of his association with healing, became identified with the unnamed angel of John 5:1–4 who periodically stirred the pool of Bethesda "[a]nd he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water was made whole of whatsoever infirmity he lay under". The Catholic Church accordingly links Raphael with Michael and Gabriel as [[saint]]s whose intercession can be sought through prayer.
