emtv - Luke:16:19-31

emtv@Luke:16:19 @ "Now there was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen, enjoying himself splendidly every day.

emtv@Luke:16:20 @ But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores, who had been placed at his gate,

emtv@Luke:16:21 @ and longing to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. And even the dogs came and would lick his sores.

emtv@Luke:16:22 @ And it came to pass that the beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.

emtv@Luke:16:23 @ And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom.

emtv@Luke:16:24 @ Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am suffering in this flame.'

emtv@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things, but now here he is comforted and you are suffering.

emtv@Luke:16:26 @ And besides all this, between us and you a great gulf has been fixed, so that those who desire to cross [over ]from here to you are not able, nor may those from there cross over to us.'

emtv@Luke:16:27 @ Then he said, 'Therefore I beseech you, father, that you would send him to my father's house,

emtv@Luke:16:28 @ for I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.'

emtv@Luke:16:29 @ Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.'

emtv@Luke:16:30 @ And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if someone from the dead should go to them, they will repent.'

emtv@Luke:16:31 @ But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded should one rise from the dead.' "
