The Rich Man and Lazarus
19“There was a rich man who was clothed in apurple and fine linen and bwho feasted sumptuously every day. 20And at his gate cwas laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21who desired to be fed with dwhat fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22The poor man died and was carried by ethe angels fto Abraham’s side. ▼▼Greek bosom; also verse 23
The rich man also died and was buried, 23and in hHades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and isaw Abraham far off and Lazarus jat his side. 24And he called out, k‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and lcool my tongue, for mI am in anguish in this flame.’ 25But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that nyou in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ 27And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house— 28for I have five brothers ▼▼Or brothers and sisters
—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ 29But Abraham said, ‘They have pMoses and the Prophets; qlet them hear them.’ 30And he said, ‘No, rfather Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31He said to him, ‘If they do not hear sMoses and the Prophets, tneither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”
