The
Rich Man and Lazarus ¶
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine
linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And
there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate,
full of sores, And
desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table:
moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And
it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels
into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And
in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar
off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And
he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus,
that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for
I am tormented in this flame. But
Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy
good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted,
and thou art tormented. And
beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that
they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to
us, that would come from thence. Then
he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to
my father's house: For
I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come
into this place of torment. Abraham
saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And
he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead,
they will repent. And
he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will
they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Scripture: Luke 16:19-31 PARABLE
