Luke 16:19-25
-
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
-
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
-
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
-
22 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;
-
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
-
24 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.
-
25 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.
