Luke 16:19

View Chapter [ ]

& "Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day.

& ~"And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,

& and longing to be fed with the {crumbs} which were falling from the rich man's table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores.

& ~"Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried.

& ~"In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom.

& ~"And he cried out and said, `Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.'

& ~"But Abraham said, `Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony.

& ~`And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and {that} none may cross over from there to us.'

& ~"And he said, `Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house--

& for I have five brothers--in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'

& ~"But Abraham *said, `They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.'

& ~"But he said, `No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!'

& ~"But he said to him, `If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead."'
