16:18  Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another1, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.

16:19  Now1 there was a certain rich man2, and he was clothed in purple3 and fine linen4, faring sumptuously every day5:

16:20  and a certain beggar1 named Lazarus2 was laid at his gate3, full of sores,

16:21  and desiring to be fed with the [crumbs] that fell from the rich man's table1; yea, even the dogs come and licked his sores2.

16:22  And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham's bosom1: and the rich man also died, and was buried2.

16:23  And in Hades1 he lifted up his eyes, being in torments2, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom3.

16:24  And he cried and said1, Father Abraham2, 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 in anguish in this flame.

16:25  But Abraham said, Son1, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things2: but now3 here he is comforted and thou art in anguish4.

116:26  And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.

16:27  And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house1;

16:28  for I have five brethren1; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment2.

16:29  But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets1; let them hear them2.

16:30  And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent1.

16:31  And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead1.
