vw - Luke:16:19-31

vw@Luke:16:19 @ There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day.

vw@Luke:16:20 @ And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,

vw@Luke:16:21 @ desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich mans table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

vw@Luke:16:22 @ So it happened that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abrahams bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.

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

vw@Luke:16:24 @ Then 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.

vw@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said, Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.

vw@Luke:16:26 @ And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, nor can those from there pass to us.

vw@Luke:16:27 @ Then he said, I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my fathers house,

vw@Luke:16:28 @ for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, that they not also come to this place of torment.

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

vw@Luke:16:30 @ And he said, No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.

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