Luke:16:19-31
Seeker Overlay ON
*
There was a certain rich man ,
which was clothed in purple and fine linen ,
and fared sumptuously every day :
*
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus ,
which was laid at his gate ,
full of sores ,
*
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man '
s table :
moreover the dogs came and licked his sores .
*
And it came to pass ,
that the beggar died ,
and was carried by the angels into Abraham '
s bosom :
the rich man also died ,
and was buried ;
*
And in hell he lift up his eyes ,
being in torments ,
and seeth Abraham afar off ,
and Lazarus in his bosom .
*
And he cried and said ,
Father Abraham ,
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 tormented in this flame .
*
But Abraham said ,
Son ,
remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things ,
and likewise Lazarus evil things :
but now he is comforted ,
and thou art tormented .
*
And beside all this ,
between us and you there is a great gulf fixed :
so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot ;
neither can they pass to us ,
that would come from thence .
*
Then he said ,
I pray thee therefore ,
father ,
that thou wouldest send him to my father '
s house :
*
For I have five brethren ;
that he may testify unto them ,
lest they also come into this place of torment .
*
Abraham saith unto him ,
They have Moses and the prophets ;
let them hear them .
*
And he said ,
Nay ,
father Abraham :
but if one went unto them from the dead ,
they will repent .
*
And he said unto him ,
If they hear not Moses and the prophets ,
neither will they be persuaded ,
though one rose from the dead .
