* "
There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day .
*
But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus ,
full of sores ,
who was laid at his gate ,
*
desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man '
s table .
Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores .
*
So it was that the beggar died ,
and was carried by the angels to Abraham '
s bosom .
The rich man also died and was buried .
*
And being in torments in Hades ,
he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off ,
and Lazarus in his bosom .
* "
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 .'
*
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 .
