19 “There was a certain rich man who clothed himself in purple and fine linen, and who feasted luxuriously every day.

20 At his gate lay a certain poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores.

21 Lazarus longed to eat the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Instead, dogs would come and lick his sores.

22 “The poor man died and was carried by angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried.

23 While being tormented in the place of the dead, he looked up and saw Abraham at a distance with Lazarus at his side.

24 He shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I'm suffering in this flame.'
