19
"There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day.
20
But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,
21
desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22
So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
23
And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24
Then 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 in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.
26
And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.'
