Luke 16:19-31

Common English Bible CEB

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.'

25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received good things, whereas Lazarus received terrible things. Now Lazarus is being comforted and you are in great pain.

26 Moreover, a great crevasse has been fixed between us and you. Those who wish to cross over from here to you cannot. Neither can anyone cross from there to us.'

27 "The rich man said, ‘Then I beg you, Father, send Lazarus to my father's house.

28 I have five brothers. He needs to warn them so that they don't come to this place of agony.'

29 Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets. They must listen to them.'

30 The rich man said, ‘No, Father Abraham! But if someone from the dead goes to them, they will change their hearts and lives.'

31 Abraham said, ‘If they don't listen to Moses and the Prophets, then neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.'"

19 "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.

20 And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,

21 who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man's table; even the dogs would come and lick his sores.

22 The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.

23 In Hades, where he was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side.

24 He called out, "Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in agony in these flames.'

25 But Abraham said, "Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.

26 Besides all this, between you and us a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who might want to pass from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.'

27 He said, "Then, father, I beg you to send him to my father's house—

28 for I have five brothers—that he may warn them, so that they will not also come into this place of torment.'

29 Abraham replied, "They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.'

30 He said, "No, father Abraham; but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'

31 He said to him, "If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' "
