Luke 16:19-22

The Rich Man and Lazarus

19 “There was a rich man who was clothed in ¹purple and fine linen and ²who feasted sumptuously every day.

20 And at his gate ³was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,

21 who desired to be fed with ⁴what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 The poor man died and was carried by ⁵the angels ⁶to Abraham’s side. ^[a] The rich man also died and was buried,
